I will never ever EVER forget Dr. Blair. He's very knowladgeable about what he etaches, but his people skills are in the toilet. He was my Psych Nursing clinical advisor, which means he supervised us during our Psych rotation-which was freaky enough to begin with. Anyhoo, we had this paper due for our rotation, and we had to turn it in in parts, and each part would be graded, and then added up for a final grade on the paper. When we discussed the paper, the first thing he told my clinical group, was that he wasn't going to give any of us an A b/c we aren't professionals, and we don't do A work yet. Ok, thanks-now I'm really going to try hard! Well, I tried hard anyway, and he gave me a 70 on the paper. Which dropped my grade from an A to a B. I was livid. Then, during our individual clinical evaluation-a time during which your advisor gives you feedback on your preformance-all he did for 15 minutes was tell me what was wrong with my paper and how if I didn't learn this stuff now, all my co-workers would laugh at me when I went to work. Then he started with this:
"Why didn't you make the corrections that I told you to?
"I did...right here and here..I even wrote them in a diff color ink, so you would know what was old and what was corrected."
"Well, you should have made it more obvious."
"Since I did the corrections, will that change my grade at all, since they were there and you just missed them?"
"No, it's your problem, b/c you should have made it more obvious to me"
Not one word about my clinical preformance. I was so angry. But I heard he said the same things to the other students in the group. Oh damn, I was so mad.....
