Hi, I am so glad I found this post. I am having a major issue with my clinical instructor. I am new to nursing and a month and a half into my program. I have a clinical instructor told me (in front of my whole class) to get my hearing checked and she doesn't know what I am going to do as a nursing student because I couldn't hear the sounds of the blood pressure. I had her scream at me because I was asking questions in lab able clinical when lab is for lab and clinical is for clinical. I dread clinical every week and physically get sick to my stomach when I go because i know it is going to be a hostile environment. There are so many more situations that I don't have time to write them. Listen, I am not looking for Polly Anna, I'm looking for a healthy nursing educator who understands what a nursing student is going through and has some empathy. I can't learn in this environment; it's debiliating. However, I will not let this unhappy woman break me either.
