I didn’t accomplish the completion of this care plan today so I’ll be crunching all week for this blunder. Instead I’m planning our vacation escape on break. I don’t know what money wel be using but I don’t care. We’re going period. I must regain my sanity by any means necessary.
I found out through my semester 1 LPN friend that if they are asked a medication question by the clinical instructor and they don’t know it, “it’s considered a medication error” and they can be kicked out of the nursing program for it. Is this an ok policy??? I mean good grief these are brand new nursing students still and they could seriously be told all their money and time is lost because they couldn’t name a side effect of a medication? How many nurses (especially nursing home nurses) can not tell you everything about every med they give…. And yet they are damn good nurses that the world is short on. So go ahead and fail more good people because the community is just sooooo overloaded with nurses that we have to be extremely picky and only allow genouses to pass.
We need a revamp of this program. Something is not working well. I am not inspired, that’s for sure. Although I haven’t experienced too much of the negatives myself I still had a break down in clinicals, that could have been avoided, and I have been completely over being an RN ever since. A different aquintance of mine started the LPN program a year ago, or so, and was so discouraged early on that she convinced herself she was going to fail, and that nursing was not for her. She then dropped out before they had a chance to fail her. I think she would have been fine, but, especially in this program, they could easily fail you; that could happen.
