Ok.. I fully understand that you have to be thick skinned in order to succeed in nursing, but that instructor needs to be checked. Point, blank, period. What she did was totally uncalled for and unprofessional. I'm starting my RN program at LBCC in Spring "16" and I'm feeling total empathy for you right now. Not sympathy, but empathy. That instructor was very fortunate to have you as a student because had she have had myself, let's just say, I don't tolerate disrespect from any student or instructor. Breaking me down in order to rebuild me into a great nurse is one thing, but that wasn't constructive criticism, that was plain disrespect. You had to fight to not only get into the nursing program, but to stay in it. You don't need any overly excessive drama from anybody. Period. Keep your head up and finish your program. You're nicer than I am because there would've been nursing directors involved in this issue, had I been the target. I'm not as nice as you were.
