Have a rare sucky student story for you guys this week.
Department had a faculty meeting yesterday. Had a little send off for a faculty member of 38 years who is retiring, boring stuff on our impending NLN visit, routine matters really.
Then the Chair drops this bombshell on us. Someone wrote the Board of Nursing and filed a complaint about our nursing program.
According to the writer, who declined to identify themselves or the specific persons they wanted to accuse, drug use is rampant among our students in their clinical settings.
We all sat around the table with a
look plastered on our faces. Then we burst out laughing when the Chair read our Board liaison's response to the complaint, which is basically since they don't know who is making the complaint or who they're complaining about, that they think the complaint is coming from a disgruntled student. Without details, there is nothing to investigate, so the matter is closed.
Boards of Nursing are usually pitbulls. It takes something pretty pathetic to make them
and go, "whatever!"
I can envision a conversation:
Student: I want to make a complaint about a nursing program!
BON: OK. What's your name, and what is your complaint.
Student: I don't want to say. But students of this program are using drugs in clinic!
BON: Which students? At which hospital. That programs uses several facilities.
Student: I don't want to say.
BON: OK . . . so, how should we proceed in investigating this?
Student: I don't care! Investigate everyone! That's your job!
Yeah, because the BON rolling up to a hospital and asking every student in the program to pee in a cup on their say so is really going to fly . . .
