Wellness Care Plan - What does this guy want from me?

Nursing Students Student Assist

Published

Okay, so my Fundamentals of Nursing professor has a very thick accent and no one understands a word he says. Written information can be just as difficult to decipher as well and he treats us like idiots if we ask for clarification. I'm working on an assignment for a Wellness Care Plan but I'm having trouble just getting it off the ground. The instructions he gave us are exactly as follows:

1. This should be submitted in academic paper.

2. No on-line submission

3. there should be: (corresponding points will be deducted if you miss to follow this guideline)

a. Title page (title of requirement, you complete name, name of your degree program, name of your school, date of submission, and name of your professor)

b. Table of Contents

c. Body (Case Study= the case study should be atleast 2-3 paragraphs detailing the patient scenario, you may use, modify a HESI-EVOLVE-VCE case study), (Priority Problem List), (2 care plan: 1 for actual; 1 for risk),

d. Reference (cite the source of the case study, nursing diagnosis, inference, and nursing interventions.

Hope this guidelines is clear to all of you.

I realize there are misspellings and poor grammar & punctuation throughout but this is exactly what I've been given. As you can see, he's a real stickler. I go to a very small school and his is the only Fundamentals class yet he will deduct points if I fail to provide the name of my school, program, and professor (him). If anyone has done a similar assignment or knows how I should proceed, please help. Thanks

liberated847,

I don't see how you get bad-mouthing from anything I posted. There are many people trying to learn from professors they don't understand. But according to you, saying something about it, or asking for help because of it is bad-mouthing so I should just keep my mouth shut and make assumptions about assignments that I have a lot riding on. An entire class is depending on him right now, which makes his inability to be understood a problem, plain and simple. Only after comparing notes with several other classmates (all of which said they too didn't understand the assignment) did I post it here. The instructions I posted are contradictory, which is what is confusing not only me, but the other 26 people in his class. I asked for advice because I'm having a hard time. I didn't ask to be criticized especially by someone who has no idea what I'm dealing with. So the next time someone asks for advice & you only intend to bad-mouth them for needing it.... maybe just keep it to yourself.

You come to a public forum talking about someone's accent, what do you expect? Go do your homework and stop wasting time here.Now

Then why come here? I don't think this is a person who is being disrespectful. I think this is a person trying to do their best, and is asking for advice for those who have walked this road. As for wasting time, feel free to hit that "ignore" button if this bothers you so much.

I'd love to hear how your paper turns out OP. Maybe you will "publish" it here for others to read? Best of luck!

I don't feel that they were bad mouthing the instructor they were merely stating that they are having a hard time understanding the instructor accent....which is a completely legitimate concern. THIS IS the student forum where students cone for help. I spend an enormous amount of time here and LOVE helping the students.

No....we do not do homework but we DO provide a positive, SAFE atmosphere for the student to feel safe!

If you do not wish to help students...that is OK. However, this is a supportive, safe, flame free place from them.

Ok ok I get the point, consider my comment over in relation to my perceived racial bias against someone's accent.

You need to talk to your instructor. This is not going to be the only time you have difficulty understanding a supervisor... or a coworker. Use the comments here as preparation, not substitution, for talking with your instructor.

This.

Don't hesitate to state that you are having a hard time understanding him; you still need to know what you "need to know" in order to understand and get the most out of your assignment.

Let us know how it goes!
