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!

Ok, when this happens ( and it does) , take the innocent approach and try not to jump to the defensive, When she criticizes something, ask for specifics, and tell her in so many words, I am here to learn so please tell me how I am doing it wrong....and how you would like to see me doing it.
Nursing involves being able to handle criticism...we are corrected all the time- by just about anyone on the unit and we have to know how to be flexible and not get all emotional about it.
If you take the attitude that she is making your life a living hell, you wont be able to learn from her and your position as student and hers as a teacher involves you learning from her. Try to forget the clinic days that you will be missing...Hashem will help. Focus on doing your work and learning from her- humbly. If you argue, it will only raise her ire.
Good luck and keep the big picture in mind, remember those months waiting to be accepted at nursing school?.... Gam Zeh Ya'avor!!! CHag Sameach!!!

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.

FYI, we were just told that things with blood can go into the regular garbage, just things that are soaked with blood go into the red bags.
hatzlocha with your instructor. keep your confidence. You are doing fine. I don't know why some instructors feel the need to put you through such torture... I really really don't. But girl, you are not alone!

Try not to take it personally, perhaps she is taking out other frustrations on you, let it roll off you like water off a ducks back. A teacher once really came down hard on me in front of a patient who I had just spend a ton iof time with with some teaching tools etc. I ignored the nastiness and responded positively to the kernel of truth ( while with the patient, the doctor wrote a new order tha t I hadn't picked up yet...) Well the patient wrote a complimentary letter to the dean on nursing of our school which really helped me later on (I still have it...). Hang in there, it will get better!!
