i'm in a very difficult situation and would like some advice from other nurses or anyone who has experienced a similar situation. to make a long story short, i was terminated last week from an accelerated second degree bsn program, and we only had four more months until graduation. i had been having a conflict with the clinical instructor for quite some time, and she had told at least two other students that she didn't like me. she would follow me around in clinicals and look for things that she could "write me up" on, and would document everything i did, and send it to nursing admin. i have a quiet personality and she made it known that she had a problem with this, but i would like to note that my grades were very good throughout the whole program. also i feel that we were given inadequate instruction throughout the program on several skills, but an example of one skill is administration of iv medications. our skills lab for this skill consisted of the instructor having us draw up 1 ml of saline into a syringe, and inject it into a port that she had hooked up to a bottle, and that was the extent of her physical demonstration of giving iv push medications. she did not show us how to dilute iv medications or what port to inject into, etc..., but i was tested on these skills. at the hospital, when i was required to give morphine iv push, i told her that i was not comfortable with it, and needed further instruction, and i also explained this to the rn that i was assigned to. the rn that i was assigned to offered to go over this skill with me, and show me, but the instructor refused to allow her to, and said that no she had to be the one to be there. in summary, the instructor was there with me when i administered the morphine, but after i had given it, the instructor said that i had made an error, and then wrote me up, and sent me home from the hospital. i was later terminated from the program that afternoon. so my question is, do i have any recourse, and has anyone experienced anything similar? what is anyone else's experience with iv medications instruction and were you taught things like how to dilute iv medications and what port to inject into by the instructor? any feedback would be appreciated.
