A boy was hospitalized after being hit by a car in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood Wednesday morning, a police spokesman said.
The collision occurred around 7:30 a.m. at Leavenworth and O'Farrell streets. The boy's injuries are not considered life-threatening, police spokesman Officer Gordon Shyy said.
The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with police, Shyy said.
The incident occurred a day after a gruesome pedestrian death in the city's Sunset District and only about five hours after another pedestrian was struck and critically injured near City Hall.
Police Chief Greg Suhr said Wednesday that his department has been stepping up traffic enforcement citywide, with traffic citations up 43 percent in January compared to a year ago.
Pedestrian advocates have called for measures including safety improvements to various intersections around the city. There were 21 pedestrian deaths in San Francisco last year — the most since 2007.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Zoe, a Acton Basset Hound dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Basset Hound for sale in Acton, or seeking a Basset Hound dog from a breeder in Acton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Acton already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Acton breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Basset Hound breeders who help with Basset Hound rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Acton paves the way for another one to be saved.

Cops Execute 2 Detroit Citizens With 137 Bullets In Cleveland
Monday, December 3, 2012 - 23:22
EAST CLEVELAND, OH -- Two unarmed suspects were slain by police officers after a 25-minute pursuit. At the conclusion of the chase, which may have included up to 50 police vehicles, 13 officers drew their weapons and unloaded at least 137 rounds in to the suspects' Chevy Malibu. No weapons were found, and there was no evidence of return fire. The police were so violent and so reckless that they even shot up their own cruisers with friendly fire.

Uluru may be the most popular rock in the Australian outback, but don't discard the Kata Tjuta (Mt Olgas) just yet. In fact, I actually found it a lot more interesting.
We decided to do the Valley of the Winds hike in Kata Tjuta on our second day in Uluru. It's a 7.4km circuit that takes you through the domes of the Olgas. We were up by 6:00AM hoping to avoid the scorching heat but it turns out, it was completely unnecessary. We woke up to a pounding rain, which was reminiscent of the day we were supposed to head out to Tongariro. Who would have thought that the rain would follow me all the way to desert?! But we weren't discouraged and it actually turned out to be a blessing. It stopped eventually, and the temperature hovered around low 20's (celcuis) all through out our hike. So much better than the 36 degree heat the previous day!
The walk started in the carpark (which is 50km from the resort), with the Karingana lookout 2.7km ahead. The track was moderately difficult as some parts were on loose rocks. Because of the rain, there were some water where the path should have been, which made it more difficult since the track wasn't clearly marked in the first place. We got off track a few times and we had to do a lot of manoeuvring just to stay on the path!
There was a bit of uphill climb just before the lookout and just when i was starting to think hiking was not for me, I was faced with a beautiful view of the valley, and the majestic domes of Kata Tjuta behind me. I felt like I was right in the middle of Jurassic Park. It truly was amazing, and worth all the effort.
The rest of the walk was mostly downhill, and easy. We finished it around 2 hours or so, leaving us with plenty of time to relax and explore the park :)

Note: $125 was for "new patient" not his regular fee which I believe is $75 or $85. Having just returned to So. Cal. from out of state, I had tried to save money by going to a couple of local clinics doc's & had two of the worst experiences I had ever had with "health care professionals"! It was time to spend the money for quality care as my condition is degenerative & very painful. I was NOT disappointed! Dr. De La Torre was able to see me as a new patient within two hours of my calling for an appointment! He listened to me politely & with respect & reviewed my x-rays & labs with me in detail. He was the first to explain my condition clearly & was able to make adjustments in my medication that has resulted in a notable improvement in my ability to physically function daily. In addition, my attitude in general has improved as I feel that my Dr. is listening to me & I can feel safe in his care. The staff is also professional, knowledgeable and courteous. Worth the money!

The old adage that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" applies to the legal profession just as it does to the rest of life. In the context of preparing a contract, a relatively minor investment in attorney time to address certain issues during the drafting stage may protect the client from large amounts of damages and attorney's fees if litigation should later erupt out of the agreement. The provisions that counsel may include in a contract to limit a client's exposure in a future lawsuit fall into two broad categories: (i) provisions expressly designed to limit the client's litigation expenses and exposure to damages (e.g. indemnity provisions, limitation of remedies provisions, etc…) and (ii) provisions designed to block foreseeable arguments that an opponent might raise in litigation (e.g. integration clauses, clauses specifying that the contract may only be amended in writing etc. …), which often cost substantial amounts to litigate if they are not addressed in a contract. It is often worth the time to negotiate the inclusion of these provisions in an agreement at the outset of a business relationship, rather than waiting to address the issues in the courthouse at a later date.
The discussion below addresses some of the more important contract clauses that parties may utilize to limit their future exposure to litigation expenses and damages. The issues are discussed in the context of Texas common law and Article 2 of the Texas Uniform Commercial Code ("U.C.C.").1 In addition to identifying the contract clauses at issue, this paper also addresses some of the strategic issues that the practitioner may consider when determining whether a particular clause is in the interest of the client in a specific business transaction.

Been studying the Beginner set Rules, getting the game ready for my group. What little RPG'ing we've done has involved miniatures, maps, and direct measurement (ie: Grids and 1"=6', type stuff). I'd like to get some miniatures involved with Edge of Empire at some point down the line, but I'm content with the tokens and maps provided for the time being. Proper Star Wars themed minis are easily available and I love the idea of not needing to work Grids into every bit of terrain I build.
That said, I seem to be having a bit of trouble solidifying the Range Bands and Movement rules in my head. I suspect it's my previous reliance on Grids and other visually verifiable hard rules regarding movement. It all seems simple enough: Engaged, Short, Medium, etc., but how it actually plays out when spending maneuvers gets a bit muddy when I try to sort it out. The references to not needing to complete one's full movement (from range to range) during one turn are particularly hard to process.
Can anyone clarify just how range to range movement works out in practical play?

Liability Of A Hotel Or Resort For Swimming Pool Injuries
Locate a Local Personal Injury Lawyer
Actions to recover for swimming-pool accidents at hotels, motels, resorts, and private association or club facilities are governed by standard negligence principles. Many times lawsuits include violations of statutory requirements for swimming pools. Liability depends on the circumstances of each case, but examples of successful suits include:
Absence Or Inadequacy Of Lifeguards
A hotel or resort may be negligent for failing to provide some person experienced in life saving or warning of the absence of one. For example, one court held a motel liable based on the absence of a lifeguard. A boy who had just dove from the pool's diving board and was swimming toward the side of the pool was injured when another bather dove from the diving board and struck the boy. The court held that the motel's failure to provide a lifeguard was negligence.
A hotel or resort can also be liable for a lifeguard's inadequate supervision. For example, the mother of a 9 year-old boy who drowned in a pool at the YMCA was allowed to recover because of inadequate supervision at the pool. There were 38 boys at the pool and only one trained lifeguard, a 67-year-old man who, according to some witnesses, spent some of his time reading a newspaper. The court found that one lifeguard was insufficient to supervise that number of boys.
Lack Of Safety Equipment Or Instruction
Liability may also exist based on the absence of safety equipment or instruction, such as telephone numbers of nearby emergency agencies. Additionally, statutes may require specific safety devices or notices, the absence of which may be evidence of negligence per se (an act which is intrinsically negligent because of the violation of a statute). For example, one motel was found liable for not having any life-saving equipment or anyone trained in resuscitation available. A guest was walking in the pool in water almost over his head when he slipped and went under. The court held that since he was a registered guest of the motel, the motel owed him a duty of reasonable care.
Insufficient Water Depth
Many jurisdictions have statutes requiring a proper amount of water in a swimming pool. Many lawsuits have focused on the insufficient amount of water in a pool to establish liability. In one case, a hotel was held liable when a guest dove into the swimming pool and hit bottom. The court held the hotel negligent for failing to comply with a safety regulation requiring swimming pools to have a minimum water depth under a diving board.
Similarly, hotels and resorts have been held liable for injuries caused by lack of depth markings. For example, a 13 year-old was able to recover from a conference center after he attempted to swim across the shallow end of the pool but somehow was pulled under water. He was found floating face-down in the deep end of the pool. The court held the center liable for violating a safety regulation requiring a permanently readable depth marking.
Lack Of Visibility Or Lighting
Lack of visibility or lighting which causes injury can support the liability of a hotel or resort. For example, when lack of lighting causes a guest to slip and fall, the hotel or resort may be liable for the resulting injury. Additionally, the fact that an underwater light in a swimming pool is not operating can also be evidence of negligence.
Should I Consult An Attorney Regarding Swimming Pool Injuries?
If you have been injured in a swimming pool, a personal injury attorney can help develop your case against the hotel or resort. Proving negligence can be difficult, but an experienced attorney can help explain the law and your rights so that you can recover damages for your injuries.

How do I know whether online education is right for me?
Learning online requires tremendous self-motivation and commitment. You will not have a fixed course schedule with meeting times as you would with an on-campus program. The flexibility of being able to study at a time that is most convenient for you requires the student to create and maintain a fixed study schedule to complete the coursework. Because most students balance numerous commitments at the same time they are completing coursework, it's critical to find a balance in order to remain motivated. It's important to remember that our academic advisors, technical support experts, and UHD faculty are here to help you succeed!

Conde Nast Publication, House & Garden Magazine, has named Miele to be the top dishwasher brand in its The Best on the Best 2005 survey. Miele was also voted the top dishwasher in 2004 -- the first year for the survey. After polling the nation's top interior designers for their secrets and advice on the best products, Miele dishwashers came out victorious over all domestic and imported brands, the appliance maker said. "We are honored to receive this prestigious recognition by House & Garden and most importantly, from the design community itself," stated Nick Ord, president and CEO of Miele, Inc. "It's a testament to our corporate motto, 'Immer Besser' ('Forever Better'), as well as to the high performance, innovative design, and enduring quality of Miele products." The Best on the Best is a survey of the top U.S. interior designers in an effort to ascertain the design community's preferred brands and products across a broad range of home design categories. A 15-page questionnaire went to leading design professionals across the U.S. The questionnaire covered four major design categories and 38 sub-categories. Questions were open-ended, enabling respondents to make their choices without prompting. An independent market research firm tabulated the survey results.

Why is UCU taking Industrial Action?
UCU is continuing its action over the 2013/14 national pay negotiations. UNISON and Unite have not expressed an intention, at this stage, to participate in this round of industrial action.
What form will the Industrial Action take?
This action will take the form of a rolling period of two-hour strikes, starting with those scheduled on the following dates:-
Thursday 23 January 11.00 to 13.00
Tuesday 28 January 14.00 to 16.00
Monday 10 February 09.00 to 11.00
Will the University operate as normally on these dates?
In the interests of students, the University will aim to operate as normally as possible on each of these dates. Schools and departments have been asked to consider events occurring within their areas at these times and the strike contingency Group has been reconvened to discuss the likely impact of the strike and determine locally how best to ensure normal activity continues.
Employees are only legally permitted to participate in this industrial action if they are a member of UCU.
Will my pay be deducted if I take Industrial action?
Yes. It is the policy of Cardiff University to withold pay of staff who participate in any industrial action and will not accept the partial performance of the contract of any member of staff, including partial performance due to a part day strike. The University's policy is to withold 100% pay to staff who participate in partial performance/action short of strike. In these circumstances, the University is legally entitled to withold full pay due on the day of action. It has, however, without prejudice to its curent and future position, agreed to withold pay for two hours for those UCU members who participate in the two-hour strike today. The University will monitor the situation and we may review the amount witheld in the future.
Will my pension be affected if I take Industrial action?
Further advice on implications for your pension can be obtained from UCU.
Can I opt to take annual leave on the days when industrial action is taking place?
Annual leave can be taken if it has been agreed in advance. Your School or department will consider further requests for annual leave in the context of likely staffing levels and the need to maintain normal operations.
Can I work from home on the dates specified?
Yes if it has been agreed in advance. Please note that each School or Department will consider further requests in the context of likely staffing levels and the need to maintain normal operations. If you are scheduled to teach or attend meetings at a time when strike action is proposed, then it is likely that your request will be refused on this basis. The University expects students to receive teaching currently planned, unless the person delivering it is on strike.
Can I request Emergency Leave on the dates specified?
Yes, if the requirement for the emergency leave is not related to industrial action.
Where the request for emergency leave is related to the industrial action which has been anticipated for a period of time emergency leave will not be granted.
Do I have to inform my School/Directorate that I am taking part in Industrial Action?
You are asked to assist your School or Department in planning its activities by notifying your management of your intention to strike in advance of the day of action. This is to assist with planning activities around who is working. However at this stage it is voluntary: there is no legal obligation for you to advise the University of your intention to strike before the strike action takes place.
On the date and time of the strike action, your School or Department will note who is not in work and whose absence has not been authorised in advance (holidays, hospital appointments, certified sick leave etc) or notified in advance (those who have notified of participation in strike action).
Following the strike action, Heads of Colleges/Prof Services will establish who was on strike. At this point if you are asked whether you participated in the strike action you have a legal duty to inform us. If you refuse to reply to this request, your absence will be treated as participation in the strike action and pay deducted accordingly.
What about pickets?
During a period of strike action, pickets are entitled to assemble at or near their place of work. We expect that UCU pickets will be at main entrances to University buildings and in particular at Main Building. However pickets are not entitled to be on University premises and must remain on the public highway without causing an obstruction.
The law allows pickets to seek to explain their case to those entering or leaving the picketed premises, and/or to ask them not to enter or leave the premises where the dispute is taking place. In no circumstances does a picket have power, under the law, to require other people to stop, or to compel them to listen or to do what s/he asks them to do. A person who decides to cross a picket line must be allowed to do so.
There is a national code of practice on picketing: http://www.bis.gov.uk/files/file23914.pdf. Any breaches of the code should be reported to your School or Department.
What if I am concerned about crossing a picket line?
Staff should not feel concerned or intimidated about crossing a picket line. Pickets may invite you to listen to their concerns, but cannot force you to do so. Pickets cannot intimidate or harass other University employees who are carrying out their contractual obligation to come into work. Any staff facing intimidation, harassment or insulting behaviour from members of a picket should report the incident to their manager.
What if I refuse to cross the picket line?
If you refuse to cross a picket line and you are not a member of UCU, you will be in breach of your contract of employment with the University and this could lead to disciplinary action.
What about Health & Safety Issues on the dates specified?
It is the School or Department's responsibility to ensure the Health & Safety of staff and students. If groups of students are normally supervised e.g. PG Research students and this supervision is absent, appropriate alternative supervision will need to be provided and it is appropriate to consider whether risk assessments for planned activities need to be reviewed in light of available staff resources. Further guidance on Health & Safety matters is available from Andy Berry on 74137.
UCU have asked their members to participate in action short of a strike in relation to a dispute over the national pay negotiations. The University has been informed that this action will take the form of "working to contract" and that it will be on a continuous basis from 1 November 2013.
The University is keen to ensure that the impact of industrial action on its students is minimised and as such is expecting staff to abide by their contracts of employment; which includes working to their job descriptions, working their contracted hours (35 per week for non-clinical staff/37.5 a week for clinical) and in the customary ways of their schools and departments.
Staff members who participate in "working to contract" should not engage in any activity that would cause them to be in breach of their contractual obligations. As staff will be performing all of their contractual duties, they will be paid in full. Members of staff who decide to take action short of a strike should advise their HR Business Partner (details below).It is important to note that the University's policy is to withhold pay of staff who participate in action short of a strike which amounts to a breach of contract. Partial performance of the contract is not accepted and the University reserves its right to withhold up to 100% of pay if that were to happen. (The rate of deduction is 1/261st per day.) As UCU's instruction is that its members should "work to contract", we do not expect that any member of staff will act in a way that breaches their contracts of employment.
Contact Details for HR Business Partners:
Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences
Rhian Roberts
Biomedical and Life Sciences
Kim Newcombe
Physical Sciences and Engineering
Juliet Jukes
Professional Services
Michelle Jones
What does "working to contract" mean?
UCU have issued guidance to members about their proposed call to "work to contract", which is available on their website (http://www.ucu.org.uk/workingtocontract). In principle however staff are reminded that their contractual relationship with the University comprises both express and implied terms. Express terms may stipulate particular hours of work or duties to be undertaken – these will be as outlined in your contract of employment signed when you joined the University alongside your Job description and any agreed changes since. Implied terms include the principles of performing duties in an efficient manner and to provide faithful and co-operative service to the University. Staff would also be expected to follow reasonable managerial instructions and requests in the delivery of their normal contractual duties.
I'm taking action short of a strike, who do I have to inform?
If you are asked by an appropriate person, you will need to answer truthfully whether you intend to "Work to Contract". This is to ensure that the University is able to plan the delivery of its services
Will my pay be affected?
Any staff member who intends to "work to contract" should not be engaging in any activity that would cause them to be in breach of their contractual obligations and as such the University accepts that as they will be performing all of their contractual duties they will be paid in full. Staff are reminded however that the University does not accept partial performance and a failure to fulfil the entire range of contractual duties will lead to pay being deducted. In these circumstances staff are required to inform the University by contacting your Human Resources Manager/Business Partner.
Where a member of staff does not perform their contractual duties (partial performance) or engages in industrial action in the form of a strike, pay will be deducted at a rate of 1/261 of annual salary for each day pro-rated for part-time staff. Deductions will be made in the next available payroll following submission of the form.

Re: New email address
Mr. Ball,
Hope you are doing well. Thanks for asking about what I am up to. I have been working two part time jobs all summer as I have been hunting for full-time work in this area.
I recently accepted a full-time position working as an assistant activities director in a nursing home in South Bend called Signature Healthcare (the facility use to be called Regency, and it recently changed ownership and is now Signature. The nursing home is off of Ironwood, just north of Cleveland.)
I am very happy to have this job, working in activities with the elderly has been a dream job of mine for a number of years. (In fact, my mock-job interview with you was for such a position!) I am looking forward to being with the residents there and learning how to love and serve them well.

Dear Nursing Students/Orientees: A Love Note from the Preceptor from Hell - page 11
Warning: The following post is rife with brutal honesty and frustration. Read at your own risk. Memorandum from the desk of Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociopath~~ Dear Nursing... Read More
5Dec 6, '12 by weluv3Quote from CherylRNBSNNice post!Um, this article seems a bit over the top to me. Medical professionals are predatory, smell blood, etc.? I've been a nurse for over twenty years. That is way over the top.
As many other posters have said, the way you precept, and your attitude, your leadership style may be a great match for some orientees.
But not for me.
I don't think anyone needs to be "broken down" in order to reach their full potential.
And it's kind of condescending to think all new nurses need to be petted and coddled, and it is your job to toughen them up and show them how the real world is.
I, and many others, were well equipped with enough innate intelligence that we already possessed some pretty good critical thinking skills before we ever even started nursing school, and also realize we have an intrinsic responsibility for our own professional growth and development.
I look at new grads and nursing students as colleagues. I do not try to intimidate them. I get to know them as a person on some level; i.e., ask them when they are graduating, their future career goals, etc. I respect them, and they respect me. I freely tell them everything I know. I assure them there are no stupid questions. That knowing what one does not know is a cornerstone of safe practice.
Positive, healthy interactions with all coworkers go a long way in making tough shifts bearable, even enjoyable.
Support, teamwork, respect, sharing of knowledge, modeling leadership, and yes, KINDNESS. Despite whatever else is going on in my personal or work life.
So I don't worry about my orientees speaking about their experience with me as a preceptor with other staff. -
0Dec 6, '12 by tinyonernWhitebunny, I can't begin to understand how difficult it must be to leave everything you know and then try to learn in a new language, new culture, etc. so, my hat is off to you!!! Take credit for calming yourself down, good job!! Do remember though that English is a very quirky language, and when you are upset by something, give yourself a minute to calm down. It maybe be that the person really is being nasty, so get mad, but it maybe a language issue. Keep up the good work!!
3Dec 8, '12 by RensoulThis article nails it. Having just come out of a 3 month orientation period with some awesome preceptors, this is really close to home. Some observations:
1) I didn't see the OP as being harsh. The goal is to assess what the preceptee knows and to work from there, regardless of the teaching method. Case in point, if you make me watch everything and then do it, I will bomb every time. However, if you show me once, walk me through it once, and then let me do it on my own, I'll get it every time. We are all familiar with the teach back method, it works.
2) I would much rather have someone be upfront and honest about their intentions/personality in the beginning rather than feel like that person is being fake and get blindsided by it later. At least OP is being honest about how they are and what they expect. Expectations are part of every relationship, and both sides are responsible for stating what theirs are.
3) A smart student/orientee should be watching their preceptor to see what the resources are. You never know when you will need said resources. IMHO this is not the expectation of reading minds. It is the expectation that we learn from experiences. If I see my preceptor consistently go to specific people for things, it tells me that my preceptor values their opinion for a reason.
4) Different strokes for different folks. If you know that OP's precepting style wouldn't work for you, Kudo's. It means you have the self-knowledge to realize what works for you & that is part of being an active learner.
To the new grads/orientees:
Yes, orientation is overwhelming as a new grad. There will be days when you feel you can't do a *&^% thing right. It will pass, you will gain confidence & skills. It will click. Hopefully sooner than later.
Life begins outside of your comfort zone. Seek out new knowledge/skills as you master the older stuff. Don't take thing's personally. Criticism (constructive or not) can be hard to digest and it takes some time to learn the art of stepping out of the situation to look at things objectively.
You will never run out of new things to learn. EVER. If you do, you'll be 6 ft under.
Thank you OP for a great article. I was lucky enough to have not one, but 2 preceptors like you that kept me from making some serious missteps as a student & new hire.
RenSoulLast edit by Rensoul on Dec 8, '12 -
0Dec 8, '12 by angie1114Thank you for sharing this very blunt statement. I am a first semester nursing student and hope to have a preceptor such as yourself to be as candid as you are. No sugar coating and right to the point. That is who I want to learn from because it shows that you are a "Great nurse".
1Dec 8, '12 by passion4peopleThank you........Well said. You have my upmost respect. You are needed.....Thanksroser13 likes this.
0Dec 12, '12 by SleeepyRNQuote from CheesePotatoIt was a potentially great initial post. What I believe to be lacking are examples to really understand where you are coming from. What behaviors have you specifically seen that you are responding to. I find it very hard to believe that new grads have walked out of a patient room after making sure a "call light is in place " and came to you for praises for doing such. Your preceptees may understand your post, but you posted it here where we do not know the situations. I don't know this "tone" you are referring to. Based off others posts, I have already seen different interpretations of what this tone is, and I suspect they are off base, but do not really know. Maybe some specific examples and a word of advice to students /new grads on some of your biggest pet peeves would be helpful. Again, a potentially wonderful post, but more clarity could really drive home your point.Greetings!First of all, thank each and every one of your for a reply and a point of view. I find the spectrum of answers interesting, to say the least and, sadly, it would take me ages to reply to each.A few points, however, that I feel merit mentioning:~~ I most certainly do not have the goal of making anyone cry or otherwise engaging in sabotage, mud slinging, etc etc etc. Participating in any of this behavior would defeat the purpose and render the whole process of preceptorship completely useless. And as someone who was set up....repeatedly...by a preceptor (No, not the one I acknowledge), I can tell you first hand that it's just miserable. I would never do such a thing to someone. That's just....rotten.~~ I do not tear down my orientees or students. Ever.~~ Please remember that any over the top prose are meant to be tongue in cheek and most assuredly taken with a grain of salt.~~ No one should ever, ever be subjected to bullying or feeling fearful of their co-workers.. You have the right to a safe work environment.~~ I have yet to master the whole plume of purple smoke disappearing act. To date, I keep getting my thighs stuck on the entrance to the magic lamp thus spoiling the effect. No, slathering them with Crisco does not help.~~ Preceptor/Orientee mismatch does happen. When it does, it is in everyone's best interest that a proper match be found.~~ Although I may be mistaken, I did not say that I do not enjoy precepting. Some of my favorite times are seeing the moments of "ah-ha!" when it all just clicks. I acknowledge and appreciate all of the various opinions and feedback. The passionate responses were simply awesome. This field is blessed to have individuals willing to take a stand in what they view and what they believe. Sincerest regards,~~CP~~
1Dec 12, '12 by LabGirl77I am a nursing student and I am NOT interested in being coddled, or being friends with my instructors. I get more use out of constructive criticism than pats on the back- if I'm doing something wrong, I WANT to be told about it so that I don't do it again. I come to school and clinicals prepared, and I ask questions when I'm unsure because I am not interested in harming anyone. I work hard, with humility, and I treat my instructors, hospital staff, classmates, patients and this profession with RESPECT.
Including the ones that don't have respect for me.
There are MANY serious, hard-working, responsible, mature, kick-ass nursing students out there that many preceptors would be proud to have. We're the ones who remain respectful and professional even when we get stuck with preceptors who hate teaching.
To my fellow nursing students: keep working your ***** off, keep coming prepared, keep putting your big girl/boy underpants on every morning. Keep at it, and don't let people like this stop you from achieving your goals. AND when you're preceptors, remember what it was like to be a student -be the nurse that you want your students to become.Last edit by JustBeachyNurse on Dec 12, '12 : Reason: ToS languageGrnTea likes this. -
5Dec 12, '12 by Ruby VeeQuote from classicdameWhat I don't understand is why is it always someone else's fault when an orientee with no emotional self-control breaks down and cries at work? Why do we always blame whoever it was she was interacting with when she lost control? Why don't we blame the crier for not having the emotional maturity to accept feedback without crying?a little abrasive I thought, although there were some concepts that are generic to all preceptors. Reducing a student to tears is not acceptable. Your job is not to show how much you know, but to elevate the other person's knowledge. Learning is better achieved in less stressful situations, so if you are stressed at even having the student then you pass that along to them and they endure, but don't learn. Waste of time.
0Dec 12, '12 by whitebunnyHi Ruby
when I read this article several days ago I thought about you right away. Between you and OP's writing style I prefer your style much more. I still remember what you have said to me before. I definately wouldnt cry if the instructor communicates with me in a similar way to yours, but I would cry if the instructor writes a post like OP. -
2Dec 12, '12 by KatieMIQuote from Ruby VeeBecause there's feedback which teaches and motivates and feedback which degrades and humiliates. I think we all here know the difference, as well as the fact that "teacher" who preferably uses the latter form of feedback is probably well below of the "crier"'s level in terms of emotional maturity, stability and professionalism.What I don't understand is why is it always someone else's fault when an orientee with no emotional self-control breaks down and cries at work? Why do we always blame whoever it was she was interacting with when she lost control? Why don't we blame the crier for not having the emotional maturity to accept feedback without crying?Anna Flaxis and melmarie23 like this.
