I agree! I work in a corrections facility and if this happened to me it could be a life or death situation and all you have is the support of your co-workers. If they can't step up they need to get out!

I am so sorry that you were unable to come to a public forum, privately without naming names, and post your concerns or complaints. I don't know you, and I don't know the person who attacked you, but I want share something with you... I have one of the most incredible instructors in the world. I learned more from her since I have been in nursing school than I have ever learned from one single person. She emulates everything I ever want to be and I will tell you something she told me... "Kill them with kindness" I did not really pay much attention to that when I first heard it, but as I watched her deal with, let's call them "difficult" people, I saw her handle things with calmness and grace no matter what the situation was. As I started my next clinical rotation I had one of "those" instructors. Always right, ALWAYS the boss, and always trying to make you feel stupid. Each time the situtation would come up, I would hear Mrs. B's voice and I would just smile and agree. I promise you that I still wanted to take her head and smash it mightily into a brick wall, I didn't feel better, B-U-T!!! Pretty soon she stopped talking to me that way. I know it will not always work but you will garner respect and you will always be able to deal with any type of personality that comes before you. Good luck at your school and I hope that the other's there are not as vicious as what we got a glimps of here! Hang in there sweets!!!

Yeah for you!!!! Congratulations!!!!

I agree with Bellafsu89 if you can associate the med with what it does or what body part it affects you may be able to remember it better. There is always the flash cards! If you do something enough, you WILL remember it. I can honestly tell you that you will learn so much more about pharmacology when you are actually doing your clinicals that you ever will sitting in a classroom. Do your best to pass your class and then learn as much as you can when you actually have patients. Once you can see how a medication works with a specific disease process you will be amazed at what you can remember! Good luck to you!

We have had quite a few Amazing instructors. At the same time we have a few instructors that... well honestly, I am not quite sure how they found their way to the school each day. Then you have the ones that absolutely know EVERYTHING! When in fact, most of what they tell you is wrong. Thank GOD for text books! I think you are going to have that mix everywhere you go. You can't like them all but you can definately learn something from everyone, sometimes it is not exactly what they set out to teach you!

As a fourth term student I can tell you that they are not all weeded out! However, I am a firm believer that you get out of it what you put into it. Hang in there, keep your head down, and study, study, study!!! Good luck!

Just curious if I missed it? Did you pass??? Today is the 11th and no post since the 6th?
