Guess I should have added I also went to a Rav to ask, what if they only want me to wear pants.

I had one professor, so far, in nursing school in CA that requested that I wear pants. So I wore pants under a skirt to the site, and I took of the skirt while on the floor. Before I left I put back on the skirt.
At cedar Sinai in LA, there are 2 frum nurses that work on L&D. They are required to wear pants, so they wear skirts to the floor and change into pants once working on the floor.
The Rabbi I studied under in Jerusalem, his wife is a midwife. I went to visit her in the hospital once, to discuss how she handles working etc. She was wearing pants, in L&D in Jerusalem.
I approached my college about wearing skirt/pants. they told me to just wear a skirt, and that if my teacher requests me to wear pants be flexible, as they are being flexible and understanding about my holidays and dress code.
I think the point is to be communicative and open and honest, and they have more respect for you if you show them respect.

what makes me nervous is that some of the students are acting like spoiled children and pouting and throwing fits infront of the teacher.
here's an example. We had to vote for class president, vice, etc etc..
Most of us honestly do not care about such positions.. So the ones that did wrote their names on the board. We ended up with one person willing to be VP and she would only do it if one of the others on the president were elected. which was silly, but she said it and we honestly did not care.
someone complained to the Dean that our election was unfair, and they made us redo the entire thing. I think 1/4 of the class left w/out voting second time around.

So while I should be excited that I got an 80 on this exam..
50% of my classmates got less than a 74, meaning they failed.
now that 50% wants to write a letter and complain, but the reality is that her exam is like most of our exams are going to be from now on with critical thinking and eliminating the most wrong answers.
such is life....but it feels weird, I am glad I passed..

oh I never argue with her.
I am always smiling and saying please explain what I did wrong.
example: I did my first accucheck with her. I did not know that the part that goes into the accucheck goes into the sharps container after being used, because of a biohazard (previous clinical instructor had us throw it out). I had wrapped it into my glove, along with the alcohol wipe and cotton for blotting first blood. I quickly grabbed another glove and reached in and grabbed the piece and threw it in the sharps.
She huffed as if, "oh she's actually prepared." Oh well, just have to get through it with smiles.

For some g-d forsaken reason my clinical instructor has decided to hate me.
She's making my life a living hell!! Ever since I informed her that I would be missing two clinical days, thanks to shavuos. I am terrified of my mid-evals.
I feel like I am on top of things, but she keeps knocking me down!
She told me that my care-plan was the lowest of all the students, and that she has concerns. But she would not give it back to me, so that I would know what to fix!

woo hoo got an 88! Then I tried to pick my first patient, and I got a new admit whom honestly did not have a lot of paperwork and the doctor's handwriting was horrible! Then as a gift, my professor got sick, and clinicals were canceled today!!

This professor is all book based, and she gave us about 10+ chapters to read in a week and a half and expects us to know it for today!

oh I never scream at my kids..
I vent first, to calm my self and to refocus myself (online not @ kids), and then I deal with it calmly and focused.
Only time I have EVER screamed at my kids is when they were annoying and I had already asked them 10+ times to stop please. Even after I appologize, because I HATE screaming

It must be difficult. Having to deal with teenagers is difficult enough, not add step to the equation and you have a huge challenge. You are in an impossible situation. For best results it must be HER BIOLOGICAL PARENT that sets the limits. I wish you lots hatzlacha. May Hashem give you lots of koech to handle this while remaining psychologically intact. I wish her biological parent would set limits. One has become a lesbian and decided to have her own life, so sadly her kids are left in the dust. Except when she wants to parade her newest date to them, blah yuck! The other one, that I am married to, feels as though he has to bend because they have been kind of abandoned by the other patient. He's not into setting limits, which does not make my children so thrilled but that's another topic.
