trouble with clinical evaluation

[SUstudent]

I'm a senior BSN student. I have done very well in both the classroom and clinical setting. At this point, we've completed 500 hours of clinical time, in med surg I, II and III, ob, peds, psych, preceptorship and community health.

One six hour shift during my community health rotation was at a center which focused on a chronic illness. I went and did whatever I could, but they had nothing for me to do. Being the busy bee that I am, I cleaned things up (after asking permission), refilled paper, and offered to help whenever and wherever I could. We had a class of four people that day and a one on one conference with a client that day. Each thing took one hour. The rest of the time, I tried to keep busy.

One of the things we have to do for this clinical is a midterm presentation. I was assigned to report on this clinical location. To do so, I had to ask several questions. The RN who was supposed to be "supervising" me literally didn't interact with me the whole day. She was hunched of the computer, didn't go to lunch and barely spoke to anyone. I tried not to bother her but had to ask her a few of these questions like "when did this organization start?" Neither she, nor the receptionist, seemed to know. They were very upset that I was asking any questions. It was a very odd experience.

Apparently, this RN, who I barely spoke with, wrote on my eval that I was "rude" and "asked questions about when the organization opened" and admitted she didn't know and said my behavior had been "rude."

M'kay. This was after I obligatorily went to lunch with the dietician, her husband, and her developmentally delayed daughter and the receptionist. It fell upon me to chat with the mentally challenged teenager, which I did, happily for about one hour, while they ate lunch. Then, when we got back, the dietician decides to open up and reveal a deep, dark secret--that she is going to quit soon and go back to school to become an LCSW. This conversation was two hours. The whole time I kept asking if I should be doing something helpful, if I could do anything. No response.

I cannot understand why this person wrote this about me. I am hurt, annoyed, and generally ticked off. This is the first negative comment I've received on a clinical eval in my entire nursing school career. Maybe if I'd gotten more, I'd be less upset. But the fact that it is a lie is blowing me away.

What should I do? My lab instructor quoted these comments verbatim onto my final eval. Only a few positive comments, but a lot on this one negative comment. She admitted no one else said anything negative about me, but she felt this was "concerning."

How important are these final evals? It's a pass/fail clinical. It doesn't affect my grade. But I fear that this may sit in a file and screw me up when I am job hunting. We graduate in less than 6 weeks.

Any ideas on this would be helpful.

Thanks!
