Situation that happened with me on my clinical placements; I was on my second year placements and it was the first week of the placements. I was changing the dressing of the patient who had a toe amputation, and my buddy nurse was guiding me because the wound was quite big and that was my first time doing that kind of dressing. But by the time we were doing it, the nurse in charge came, and rebuked me for not doing the dressing on my own, she said in a very rude way that you are a second year nursing student and you should do this by yourself. You should take more patient load, you are very slow. And she said all this in front of two other nurses who were attending to other patients in the same room and also the patient's wife who was there at that time. I cried a lot after coming home and felt so bad. But the next day my buddy nurse who she sat with made me feel comfortable, and asked me not to take personally what the nurse in charge said because she said that that’s her behavior to say anything straight forward especially to students because she believes it helps students to learn more.
