[QUOTE="Fran, post: 355278, member: 3"] I'm sorry Hound dog but I never heard of such craziness. I appreciate I'm old but an instructor changing the clinicals to suit her obligations is grounds for dismiissal in my humble opinion. There are reasons why hours of clinical must be met. I don't believe the instructor D did any of you any favors. M's butt would be on the line with those that accredit the nursing program. Giving baths is an important time for observation and assessment. Like I said I'm old. If the clinicals are not working for your group how are they going to handle working full time? The idea of school clinicals is to expose a student to every situation possible so that when they do graduate they don't kill someone due to lack of experience of the policy and procedure of the institution. School should be preparing students for the realities of the work world and not to accomodate the instructor or students. Sorry. I'm siding with M regardless of public opinion. What would happen if there was an investigation and the state board of regulation nulled this whole clinical semester for lack of hours? Would everyone be incensed and attack the school for not insuring the students get what they pay tuition for? I would have. I really don't think of this situation as you describe as politics but as a travesty corrected. Sorry it's only MHO. PS: if you missed clinical it should be held as a missed clinical regardless of instructor. Doesn't anyone keep count? Who supervised the other students while the instructor was out? [/QUOTE]
