It is a proprietary school. Apparently, she's been known to "bully" past students. I know that I still need to improve, which is the whole point of my rotation, but her telling me that I'm too stupid to comprehend anything, is going too far, I think. But maybe I'm wrong for thinking that. Maybe I do need someone to tell me to give up. I just find this mentally exhausting & I'm to the point I don't even want to be a ST anymore. Yes she has 4 other students, besides me this rotation. I don't see 3 of the other students often due to the fact they are at another facility than I am. At my facility, there's only 2 of us. Thanks for your opinion!!

I'm not necessary in an ADN program, but in a surgical technology program. I'm currently on my 2nd rotation (we have 3 rotations). I start my 3rd in a couple weeks. I only have 3 months left. this 2nd rotation has ruined the excitement for me. My preceptor is tough on me. She told me i would never graduate & I'm worse than a 1st rotation student. She said I'm horrible. My last preceptor said my problem, besides lacking confidence in myself, is we just don't connect. My 1st preceptor said I did good, that I was scrubbing by myself, but this is different. After I was told I am horrible, and should even be in clinicals, I went home & cried. i know think maybe this isn't for me & maybe it's best to quit even though I only 3 months left. Maybe she's right, I can't do it. I'm totally second guessing everything! I understand I'm still learning but she makes it difficult for me to even want to learn anymore. I feel like giving up. she treats me differently. The other students get to pick their procedures, I don't. The other students can pick the procedures they have done before so she doesn't have to grade any of our clue sheets, but I still have to do them. I feel like she shows favoritism. I'm not sure what to do anymore. If I do go through the last 3 months, maybe I should even work at a surg tech when I do graduate. If anyone has input, it would help me!!!! thanks!
