I'm upset due to an issue that happened at a recent clinical. I was having a problem taking a patient's blood pressure and so I asked another student for assistance. Our student "charge" also came into the room for some reason. I told her what was happening and she suggested taking a manual. Great idea...prob should have thought of that myself, but I did not. In any event, I was successful taking the manual bp. As I was entering the vitals she came and asked me about the bp. I tripped over my words and then told her the reading.
I cannot for the life of me figure out why she went and asked the other student that was present if she "saw" me take the blood pressure. The only thing I can think of is that she thought I was lying because I kind of stumbled with my response.
It's bothering me and I can't decide if I should approach her or not. I probably need to work on my "let it go" skills but at the same time I feel like she crossed a line. I'm a fully accountable individual and the last thing I would ever do is pretend that I got a bp.
