When group bullying expands from classmates to teachers and administration

Published

I am on a lunch break during clinical, so will provide the basics and followup when possible. Individual bullying ineffective due to lack of intelligence and posed threat. Same story for group bullying. False accusations and various torts follow with no effect. Next step is to extend socialization to educators and attempt to sway perception towards the individual to be bullied towards a demonized view. Educators are swayed and begin to communicate with administration and previous accusations and torts are given more consideration and a particular picture is painted. Bullying still remains ineffective as there is no ground for the expanded circle to firmly stand on and any approach to person to be bullied puts them at risk for multiple legal consequences on their part if not approached carefully. There is much more to the story to include liable from a educator to a individual I have a relationship outside school confines, to critical observation of my toileting times in the clinical setting of a skilled care facility.

:***: Okay maybe you're getting bullied please detail the bullying in short specific sentences. Sorry that this is happening to you.

Ohh is this some form of a joke OP, if so let us play. Hmm we need more data, what about vital signs and sign and symptoms?

Okay, I think I get it.

An individual tried to bully OP, but the individual was an idiot and couldn't find anything solid to get under the OP's skin. So, the bully decided to rally a crew, but still, this was ineffective against OP. So the group tried to get professors/admin to join the bandwagon. OP has apparently tried to use legal action to get this to stop. Currently, OP is under tight scrutiny to the extent that they are even monitored during bathroom breaks.

I think what OP means to say is - ain't nobody break their style. Ain't nobody gonna slow them down. No, they got to keep on moving.

I think maybe they mean to ask for advice on this?

I don't really know. That's the best I can make out of it. I wonder if maybe they don't speak English and they used a translator.

Huh? Sounds like a babelfish translation. Too much work.

Is this an excerpt from Finnegans Wake?

Sorry, this was my first post and it was hurried. I was curious to see the type of replies I would recieve with the post left in its current state. All replies that have been posted are appreciated regardless of content. The post is somewhat of a biography for 2 semesters of nursing school. Me and what was just a platonic female friend of mine were bullied in different ways from the start of the first semester. Through our suffering we grew together and once it was evident to our classmates that we were together, the bullying approach changed. The post was specific to me until the very end in which I pointed out that an educator sceduled an academic counciling session with her, only to suprise her with you need leave him and here is all the gossip I heard on why you have to. I am use to people in general attacking me, but if when someone I care about starts to get attacked too beyond what she is use to and capable of handling, I know need to reach out further for help. I am extremely busy right now and am finding it hard to find the time to track down what options I may have available in our defence. When a for pay nursing program with all of its protective legal measures are in place decideds to participate willingly in the group bullying process, who does the student or students being bullied go to? Go to a lawyer and fight an uphill legal battle while near broke and unprotected by whistleblower rights? Is there someone to go to for our state board of nursing(Oregon ) or maybe the ANA? Should we both just take our losses and try a different school with the hope that we will not be subject to this level of harassment again? We are finishing out this term and then do not know what we will do. We are feeling alone and isolated in a raging sea. I apologize if this the wrong place to voice our concern. If needed, please redirect and I will happily voice my concerns in an more appropriate forum. I only need to know where.

It's tremendously unfair, I agree. Are you half way through? A consideration would be to lay low, stop making your platonic (or otherwise) relationship obvious, take that ammunition away.

The biggest defeat you could give your tormentors is to finish & become a functioning nurse. Leaving would be very rewarding to them. As fulfilling as it would be to sue them or "report them", it would not likely get anywhere except for deep in your pockets.

Just trying to keep it real.

So, is the issue that your instructor told you to end a friendship (which they seem to believe is romantic in nature) with a fellow student? Does your school have a policy prohibiting such a relationship? Are you able to prove this relationship is plutonic? You.d have to answer these questions to determine if you have any legal standing, I would think.

As I have learned from reading Ann Landers / Dear Abby / their heirs and assigns since I was eight, there is generally another side to every story. I have never, never encountered any faculty that would give two figs for a student's romantic entanglements one way or another unless there was something demonstrably abusive or otherwise dangerous to one member of the pair. Not saying that's happening here, but we have only one side, and it sounds ... weird.

I don't understand, why wouldn't you just clarify what you meant instead of sitting back and watching what happens as a result of your confusing post??
