Question

You are responsible for the skills laboratory (either for mentoring a small group of new nurses or senior nursing students), and it is time for check-offs. You prepared four different scenarios, each requiring different nursing skills. You provided the learners with a basic overview of each scenario. The day before the check-off, you select the one scenario that will be used for the check-off, and prepare the skills laboratory. During the check-off, you are repeatedly amazed at how well-prepared the learners are. The next day, after the check-off, one of the learners comes to your office and asks to speak to you. During the conversation, she identifies that another learner had correctly found out which scenario was going to be used during the check-off and told everyone in the group. She refuses to identify the other learner who found out the information. What would be your course of action?

Answer 1

I being responsible for the skill laboratory, will take action against this. Because there is right for the leaner to put forward their ideas. But there is a common courtesy to express all these things,which is not maintained by the leaner. If that particular leaner have an idea about check off scenario, first of all he or she should discuss it with the concerned authority. Without permission of such an authority, the leaner is not supposed to do such an act. I being the responsible person will take strict action against that leaner.
