Hmm...is patient safety not her business? A patient would not be receiving adequate care if the data is wrong. Care is based off the data. "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod McKuen

I would much rather work the weekends ONLY. "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod McKuen

We are taught that goals should be timed and measurable...but I like realistic, too. "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod McKuen

Firstly, can there not be levels of bullying? Secondly, while idle chit-chat is not a necessity, kindness IS. Simply being kind and saying a few more words beyond "yes", "no", "fine" doesn't mean the preceptor is her new BFF. She is clearly alienating the student, whatever her reason. And she likely knows the student feels uncomfortable. Of course the student is there to learn and not there to make friends, but I call BS on the "preceptor is just doing her job" blather. I don't think part of precepting is making the student feel uncomfortable. How does that foster a good learning experience? Thirdly, have we forgotten? Nursing is a smaaaaall world. You never know where you're going to end up. "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod McKuen

Familiarize yourself with the cellphone policy. No means no. I find it a little irritating seeing students/staff standing in the hallway or even in a patient's room texting away. As a student you are there to learn. Leave the cell in your car or in your bag if you are allowed to bring anything to clinical sites.

I think nursing programs are competitive whether you go the CC route (ADN) or university (BSN). They are in my area, at least. "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod McKuen

Aw! The residents always love a treat like that! I miss LTC. "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod McKuen

I am going to say not necessarily. You don't think there are times it's more give than take? Such as...as I stated above, full-time work and full-time student...husband works regular hours and takes care of the household...he's clearly giving more than me currently.

Okay, so what does how much they make have to do with anything? Especially in relation to your post? "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod McKuen

I will gladly clean BM all day long if it meant never ever ever ever cleaning up vomit. "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod McKuen

I was thinking anxiety, as well. But, shouldn't there would be other findings in the assessment r/t anxiety? I experience SOB, increased HR, sweating... OP - I posted this on your other thread but what unit or chapter is this discussion post assigned along with? "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod McKuen

What is the unit or chapter r/t to your case study? "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod McKuen

Um, what? Several of my clinical instructors "work the floor", as well as work as instructors. They also are right there to assist in any situation (Need an extra set of hands for a pt. who is total assist and needs a bath?Our instructor is right there.) And they're not "half-ass"...they're kick-ass. I have nothing but respect for all of them.

I'm currently at an LTAC facility for a clinical rotation and I HATE it. By far my least favorite clinical site. Kudos to the staff who go in day after day after day... "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod McKuen
