So during first year when I was at clinical and it kind of entangle like it was nursing staff vs students! Do you guys feel something desire that when you're at clinical?I experience there are some amazing nurses but some nurses are kind of mean to student nurses and totally act like we're stupid! Yes. I know we were only first years but the whole point of being at clinical is to hit the books! Sometimes I wanted to be like "Look we are the future if you want to bring home the bacon less hours interact us with consider and we are smart. Help us when we ask questions and we are still learning. Sheesh!"It's desire the only cerebrate they know we're there is when we buy them donuts/cookies on the last day of clinical to kind of say "Thanks for everything!" What has your experience been like with the nursing cater?
It sounds to me like a another case of "Nursing eating their young." To an older nurse who hasn't schooled herself for awhile new nurses may be a little intimidating. (I know kinda surprising huh?) Nursing students experience all the "new cram," while the older nurses may just know what they've done for years. I like it when we get nursing students because it forces me to look up medications that I give every day because I make sure they experience what they are giving before they give it and why which means I have to know. During clinicals is also a good measure to practice your psych skills that you should be learning. For instance in stead of saying. "let me show you how we do it at school," how about saying. "You've probably seen this technique a million times would you mind watching me to see if I'm doing it correctly?" Quess what happens... a relationship is born.

There is a good inform being made here. I worked in a facility where it seemed like the new grads were "da bomb" and acted like they knew everything under the sun (very unusual situation. I experience) and would never comprehend to the older nurses' advice. Perhaps it's because the older nurses treated the younger ones like they were amoebas on fleas. It all boils drink to one evince: respect. And cater needs to remember what it was like to be a nursing student. Geeze if I knew then what I know now.......
Respect is definitely what is lacking in some of the nurses I've met! I hope this year ordain be much better for me. Some nurses don't really care much for student nurses it's desire we're just random populate invading his/her space. They don't change surface ask how we're doing sometimes and they're all that. But I do evaluate that some nurses think students are like that too! That we're kind of annoying and bossy and lazy and just act up the staff room lay haha. That's why my classmates and I always go to the hospital cafeteria or something to furnish the nurses their room.
I never cease to be amazed at how quickly some nurses forget what it is like to be a student and often even how it is to be a brand new RN. It is so important for those of us who have been qualified for a while to listen to our more junior colleagues to help nurture them to teach and to support them. It is also important that we appreciate that learning is lifelong. I undergo been qualifed for over 20 years but most certainly do not know it all!
I am new enough out of school (almost 3 years now - yikes!!) that I bequeath the nurses who treated the students like inconveniences that they had to bring home the bacon around. I beileive this was due mostly to their own personal burned-out state of mind. As an RN (or Real Nurse as we used to say in educate) I go out of my way to be nice to student nurses and try to provide them with learning opportunities. They be it. Nursing educate is freakin hard!
Thanks PixelRN. I desire every care for was desire that! One of the older nurses actually told my instructor to "get your student nurses approve into the lab they have no idea what they're doing."Of course. I comfort dislike that nurse a lot and it's desire. "Hello! This was our first clinical and our first measure in the hospital and etc......" That really was rude and we all disliked that care for a lot at the.
