Dhara Patel yes my clinical instructor this semester is like that she is such a sweet heart and she actually helps when the nurses leave you hangin lol
Yes they are. My Supporter Clinical Instructor and I attend the same church. I always go to her after church and hug her even though she taught me 12 years ago. A student never forgets the Supportive Instructor.
Ours would walk out of the room in front of us, try the sanitizer, find it empty, resolve out-loud to make a bee line to the closest sanitizer station they pass next, but look at us behind them not getting sanitizer out of the empty station and write us up for not gelling.
The supporter 😭😭😭 that was my very first clinical instructor for Fundamentals. She set the tone for the rest of my schooling. I feel like I tackled every challenge by remembering her encouragement. She even gave our clinical group folding clipboards and nurse badge clips. She was the sweetest. I graduate next year and I want to send her a big bouquet when that happens.
Mine is like a mix of the supporter and the excited one I love her!! I'm in Fundies right now and feel like I got it pretty good so far :).. Pharm and med/surg are next semester.. Pray for me.. Please?
My favorite clinical instructor in nursing school was The Spy. I swear she would show up behind you and not make a sound. Actually startled me a few times!
When I was a bedside nurse, I "became" the kind of nurse my patient needed me to be. Sometimes it was strict, sometimes supportive and yes, sometimes the spy. Now that I am an instructor, I try to do the same with the students. Some students need structure, some need a cheerleader, some need to be sent home.
How about the one always asking questions and putting you on blast!! My clinical instructor was the strict one, the care plan one and spy/ micro manager all in one. Not supportive at all. She was always ready to fail or send you home. Total nightmare 😭😩😩 Thank God that’s over. I cried everyday we had clinical.
I was blessed to have a "supporter" for my first clinical, but "strict" for my current clinical. 😣😣😣 10 months left of nursing school.👩🏾🎓 DECEMBER CAN'T COME FAST ENOUGH!!!
And also...why?!! My favorite clinical instructor says that pages and pages of care plans shows a lack of critical thinking. What is the priority diagnosis and interventions? Not giving the original commenter a hard time because it's not her fault, but 30 - 60 pages is a ridiculous expectation!
@@aprilhudecek4649 your actual care plans are this long? I am genuinely curious about how one can make a care plan that long. How many nursing diagnoses are required? We have to write a nursing process record each week that's about 15 pages, but there are charts included in that page count - it's not 15 pages of solid text. I don't don't that what you're saying is required by your program; I just wonder why in the world they are doing this and what is actually required.
I had a micromanager who would yell at you in front of patients/staff. A extremely strict /micromanager who was so rude and would make students cry , and then two amazing supportive clinical instructors.
@@411foryou for us at least, it's when the urethra like unclenches im pretty sure. I dont know the professional meaning. But lets say you're working on a mare and need a urine sample, the wink is when you can see they are about to pee because the urethra is "winking" I hope this made some sense
5 pages?! Mine were always at least 20 😭. Also, you forgot the passive aggressive clinical instructor who tells you that you will never be a nurse with a smile on her face.
Thank God mine his semester was a combo of the supportive one & the excited one! Ahhh, today was my last clinical for the semester & it was so bittersweet! I’m gonna miss having her as my instructor SOOOO MUCH next semester 😫❤️
Blake, thank you so much for your gift of humor. It is so needed by all of us and so appreciated! Nurses supporting Nurses! I have laughed so hard when viewing all of your presentations. Keep up the great work.
I can never forget the experience I had with my LPN instructor, first day of clinicals and I woke late and didn't have time to iron my scrubs or take a bath. That didn't end well, right in front of my classmates he called me out. I was so embarrassed, luckily the RN program that I'm currently in I don't have to worry about scrubs in this pandemic,lol.
Haha love this!! I am totally the supporter type as a clinical instructor. I just love how cute and nervous they are and I do anything I can to help them survive their day! 💪
You forgot the toxic one who said you won’t ever succeed! I’m not a nurse, but a speech therapist. I wish I had more supporters. I’ve been practicing for 2 years now. Awesome video!
I'm not in nursing school... Did CNA for a few years... I already delt with a few nurses that were like this... Micromanage one just brought back good old memories...
My first school was the strict one. My second school was the supporter. I was so shocked I cried. I kept over thinking many things and broke down when I received a B- because that was the environment my first school cultivated. After I didn't pass the module for being a literal point off in pharm (the pass was a 90. I got an 89.7%. I understand. They do it for the push and to motivate their students.) I told myself I quit. I took several months off to collect myself because I wasn't healthy. I'm in my "technically" mid-twenties give or take a couple higher numbers. Sleepless nights, stress, professor with the ego of a person who thought they were God's gift to nursing kind, a campus that promotes an ever nurse for themselves mentality, but then become Irate when the student's don't have that air of togetherness, plus a no asking questions environment because you can "find it in the book", I found my "true" school. I had to start over because I entered a different country and for whatever reason they didn't transfer credits over, plus the program was longer by an additional two months, but, sweet peas, it was the mercy I needed. My instructor, God bless her; she hasn't forgotten what it was like to be a student nurse. She dishes the tough love with a helping heap of support and she's understanding if there is something like a death in the family. Unlike my other institution which LITERALLY stated during orientation, a f*****g copy of the death certificate must be turned in and included in your file in order for that absence to be counted as excused. Toxic on all levels. Many students ended up dropping by block 2 of 5. My current institution doesn't have the same high pedigree and resources as my past institution, but, the humanity they deliver to their students is on par and more valuable than a name brand. On top of that? They have a 98% first time NCLEX pass rate. Both for LPN and RN (their affiliate college). I'm almost done with my program, just 3 more months. Instead of feeling defeated I feel like I can get though this with "healthy" nursing school stress. While advancing toward my true goal. Don't give up guys. I kniw my comment was a book. Even if you have a strict instructor, findng that one support syatem a friend in the course, males the difference between and anchor and a paper weight. It helped me with my first institution before I left. Know that it will be worth it towards the end. You didn't choose the wrong profession. This was meant to and will be tour new hunting ground. We just have to get through the obstacles.
My clinical instructor once said to me "you re never going to be a nurse" . She was right. I have my nurse degree, but i am working hard to have my own business and i am happy. Perhaps one day i will send her a bar of dark chocolate to thank her.
what about the one that could barely bother to show up but expects you to chart everything down to how many times the patient blinks and then rips apart your care plan because you forgot (characteristics of urine....but the patient is ambulating on their own and just told you they peed at X o'clock)
The supporter is literally my clinical instructor to the t!! They’re a blessing and I wish all of tr were like that as the instructor really affects your learning for clinicals!!
This sure has me remembering and laughing, ! I’m in my seventies now but still recall the weird things my pulse did when I heard the footsteps (she wore heels !) of our practicum supervisor coming down the hall at three in the morning!, we had better have read all the patients files and have them memorized cause there would be a test starting at 3:02AM!
Can you pleeeeease get your own tv show already! I just found you on TH-cam and you are sooo hilarious but so accurate at the same time! Being an RN is such a stressful job but you make it possible to laugh about it. There is nothing good on tv anymore but I would definitely watch you if you had your own show! 😊
just finished my first OT placement ans was lucky enough to have a 'supporter'!! she was the sweetest thing and gave me so much confidence - basically became a second mum by the end of it
I think I have the best clinical instructor. She's very helpful and is there for us. She's not our enemy. She has expectations from us and she lets us know it. She's amazing though! Walks super fast, too! I hope to be like her someday.
My one strict clinical instructor was also a care planner. Such a nightmare sending peers home if they didn't have theirs done beforehand. On top of that if you missed two clinical days you failed the course.
OMG! One of my clinical instructors was a combination of micromanager and care planner. If our care plans were under 17 pages long, we failed that assignment! I was traumatized. But by the grace if God, I passed that particular clinical.
What about the one that just disappears and leaves you to die?
sayswice lol
Falls asleep in the lobby
Lmao omg 😂😳😳 this is so real for me it's not even funny
Literally had our instructor ditch us in post conference
ClipperMaidOfTheSeas we only ever saw our instructor at post conference. She was literally Houdini in scrubs 😯
The Supporter is a blessing
Dhara Patel yes my clinical instructor this semester is like that she is such a sweet heart and she actually helps when the nurses leave you hangin lol
I've heard that they are out there... but I believe that as much as I believe in unicorns.
I'm in my first semester of our nursing classes & my clinicals instructor is a BLESSING. She is the only reason I haven't already dropped lmao
Yes they are. My Supporter Clinical Instructor and I attend the same church. I always go to her after church and hug her even though she taught me 12 years ago. A student never forgets the Supportive Instructor.
Also rare
We call our instructor the “nurse ninja” because she’s always quietly sneaking up on us then yells, “hand-hygiene!”
I chuckled
Ours would walk out of the room in front of us, try the sanitizer, find it empty, resolve out-loud to make a bee line to the closest sanitizer station they pass next, but look at us behind them not getting sanitizer out of the empty station and write us up for not gelling.
Lmaooooooo
Hahaha..this is so truee
“Code clean!!!!” 😂😂😂
You forgot the Lazy one who can’t be bothered to show up 🤦🏽♀️
I had one of those and when she did she was a real bitch
HAHAHAHA!!!!!
yes!! or shows up late and grades your papers a month later and has to push back due dates because of the entire unorganized clinical!!
He didnt for get it, they just didnt show up for the video!
this!!!!!!!
My current instructor has me crying everyday and then follows up with a hug. I call her a spiky pillow.
Ern Era sour patch instructor 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Spiky pillow 😂🤣
That was my entire childhood 🤣😂🤔😑
Crying,how?
Micromanagers always say they don’t wanna micromanage... but... lmao
It's because we DON'T want to micromanage.... but you forced us. 😉
The supporter 😭😭😭 that was my very first clinical instructor for Fundamentals. She set the tone for the rest of my schooling. I feel like I tackled every challenge by remembering her encouragement. She even gave our clinical group folding clipboards and nurse badge clips. She was the sweetest. I graduate next year and I want to send her a big bouquet when that happens.
Hey! Any updates!?
Awwwww

My funds clinical professor was AMAZING! loved her!
well?
lmaooo "the spy" had me weak! my clinical professor was exactly like that.
The spy/ ninja has to put on the list xD
Were you one of my students?? That's totally me😂😂
I think if I will ever in my life become a teacher I will be the strict and spy one xD
Even some colleagues spy when you are on the unit 🙄
You did forget the lazy one who doesn’t forgive a flying eff what you do and can really be found ever
Rarely* gosh darn spell check ruining my joke!!!
Lmaoo "the spy" reminds me of some nursing supervisors
YES!!! TOTALLY!!
Hi Kimmy. I see that you also follow Nurse Blake. This guy is so hilarious.
😂😂😂
My favorite clinical instructor in nursing school was The Spy. I swear she would show up behind you and not make a sound. Actually startled me a few times!
That is me to my nurse assistant coworkers hehe
Had a clinical teacher who did that. She was by the book. Dont be late·····. She was really cool though!
"Your under my license" 😵
Omg the pressure is real when they say that!!!
Your under my license !!!! DONT YOU DARE FORGET THIS !!!!!
I'm the Excited and Supporter clinical instructor. I've never disappeared on my students or staff nurses.
You are appreciated!!!
Wish I had you as a clinical instructor! 🌹
The "TALK to your patient" is so on point!
I'm one of those instructors that is supportive and enthusiastic. I really love what I do! ♥️
Bless you.
I hope I get good clinical instructors in the future!
Amen girl
From your fingers to God's ears
Lol! My first semester clinical instructor checked our socks!!!
Sandie M mines too it irritated me so much lol I’m like the patient is not looking at my damn socks lol geeesh
Yet the actual nurses on the floor got nail polish on, different colored socks their hair all over the place lol
@Marina right lol the nurse in my clinical last week had on bright green nail polish lol
Marina Syndulla that’s because we don’t care lmao
Not to mention tattoo sleeves
When I was a bedside nurse, I "became" the kind of nurse my patient needed me to be. Sometimes it was strict, sometimes supportive and yes, sometimes the spy.
Now that I am an instructor, I try to do the same with the students. Some students need structure, some need a cheerleader, some need to be sent home.
Need to be send home?😳
Exactly! No two patients are the same and neither are nursing students, so it would make total sense to handle things like this.
Love it
Exactly. You are a true leader
Ok boomer!
My clinical instructor is The Supporter lol she is so sweet I just love her I have two more clinicals left this semester thank the lord ❤️ lol
Wish I had one of those
I’m not even in the field and I cracked up at the spy hahahaha
Don't forget the former military nursing instructors who are drill sergeants. They have you in fear during every clinical situation.
And then say “you’re not ready, you are too nervous all the time and need more training”
😖
My preceptor took a nap in an empty patient room once...
Makayla Cochran I feel her.
How about the one always asking questions and putting you on blast!! My clinical instructor was the strict one, the care plan one and spy/ micro manager all in one. Not supportive at all. She was always ready to fail or send you home. Total nightmare 😭😩😩 Thank God that’s over. I cried everyday we had clinical.
ShoppingBunny i had that too!! I would have my stomach in knots and very damn day!
Tell me about it!!! Awful some people shouldn’t teach!! Horrible
Lol I had the excited instructor with a large dose of supporter this clinical rotation and she was so wonderful!
This reminds me, I have to do my care plan lol!
Mezmuree yup I have to do mines too lol due Monday 😂
&%&&!@ careplans! The most useless %^&
“.....and then insert the foley.”
Definitely thought it was Professor Supporter winkin’ for the go-ahead
THE SPY LMAOOO. you’re hilarious!
I was blessed to have a "supporter" for my first clinical, but "strict" for my current clinical. 😣😣😣 10 months left of nursing school.👩🏾🎓 DECEMBER CAN'T COME FAST ENOUGH!!!
You got this!!
You're almost there!
You got this!!!
@@emilynewton1921 Girl 8 more weeks now! Yes I do🤪
2 months!!! you got this! we proud of ya
“Make sure it’s 5 pages” lmaoooo our careplans are 30-60 pages
Wtf how
And also...why?!! My favorite clinical instructor says that pages and pages of care plans shows a lack of critical thinking. What is the priority diagnosis and interventions? Not giving the original commenter a hard time because it's not her fault, but 30 - 60 pages is a ridiculous expectation!
Mine were around 20 pages, and we had one for each site that we did clinicals

Im in LVN school and that is one thing we don’t to do. Whew... 30-60 pages??!!
I’m in CNA training and my instructors are both definitely the supporters. They’re so nice, and I’m lucky to have them.
I am not a nurse but Blake’s videos keep me laughing. He is so awesome and needs an academy award for his acting 🥇
You forgot the sabotager the one that intentionally tries to screw you up or start fires where there was nothing wrong.
Truth! I have had almost every one of them!!
Rachel Hawkins lol same
You are so funny! ..thank God nursing didn’t rob you of your sense of humor! I love your hoodie, Nurses support their young,” do you sell them?
I had a micromanager who would yell at you in front of patients/staff. A extremely strict /micromanager who was so rude and would make students cry , and then two amazing supportive clinical instructors.
Omg so the wink 😉 is a universal term??? I just thought it was my instructor....lol she always gives us fun ways to remember things.
Ik I got so excited
Please expalin the Wink?
We use it in vet med too
@@lowkeyhighnote3741 what does tge wink mean? Please help me. I am a 2nd year med student and I don't know the meaning yet
@@411foryou for us at least, it's when the urethra like unclenches im pretty sure. I dont know the professional meaning. But lets say you're working on a mare and need a urine sample, the wink is when you can see they are about to pee because the urethra is "winking" I hope this made some sense
Father, BLESS ME WITH THR SUPPORTER AND EXCITED CLINICAL INSTRUCTOR, lol 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Anyone who says "I don't want to micro manage or anything," really, really loves micro managing everything. 😂
I'm gonna have to send ya home💀😂😂😂 they don't play
The "Spy" Instructors have me cracking up. There are so many times that I have had instructors creep up on me.
5 pages?! Mine were always at least 20 😭. Also, you forgot the passive aggressive clinical instructor who tells you that you will never be a nurse with a smile on her face.
I just finished my first clinical term and thank GOD I had the supporter!
My instructors were always "the supporter" when you're a male. Take advantage of it. You'll see it throughout your nursing career. Good luck!
What about the instructor that drills you with question after question about your pt’s history and meds lol
(Spy) I was setting up an IV and my instructor was right behind me. I turned and slipped on the floor from fright lol
Thank God mine his semester was a combo of the supportive one & the excited one! Ahhh, today was my last clinical for the semester & it was so bittersweet! I’m gonna miss having her as my instructor SOOOO MUCH next semester 😫❤️
Blake, thank you so much for your gift of humor. It is so needed by all of us and so appreciated! Nurses supporting Nurses! I have laughed so hard when viewing all of your presentations. Keep up the great work.
So funny! I just handed in my last care plan.
Jade B you can do it!!!
@@jadeb3737 samee
The excited one and supporter gave me so much life this past year 😭
My clinical instructor was a Godsend! She was thee absolute best!!! The world needs more people like her ♥️
00:11 "Your badge is on backwards" Okay you're not even wearing one :/
"The spy" mode during quizzes and examinations. 😂
I'm in nursing school at the moment, I just found your channel and I love it! Can't wait to be a part of this!
welcome to the gang i hope you'll enjoy
I am thankful for the supporter I have this semester. She is the clinical instructor who is every student dream about !!!
These are perfect examples! I remember my days back in nursing school. I had one of each of these. Good memories!
My instructors were all supporters...thank God for them..
I had ONE AMAZING (out of like 4) clinical instructors and they took the time to explain the charting the lab values EVERYTHING it was amazing
The Supporter def helped me So blessed i had her during my journey💜
I can never forget the experience I had with my LPN instructor, first day of clinicals and I woke late and didn't have time to iron my scrubs or take a bath.

I'm pretty excited the way you are teaching
My first school was the strict one. My second school was the supporter.
I was so shocked I cried. I kept over thinking many things and broke down when I received a B- because that was the environment my first school cultivated.
After I didn't pass the module for being a literal point off in pharm (the pass was a 90. I got an 89.7%. I understand. They do it for the push and to motivate their students.) I told myself I quit. I took several months off to collect myself because I wasn't healthy. I'm in my "technically" mid-twenties give or take a couple higher numbers. Sleepless nights, stress, professor with the ego of a person who thought they were God's gift to nursing kind, a campus that promotes an ever nurse for themselves mentality, but then become Irate when the student's don't have that air of togetherness, plus a no asking questions environment because you can "find it in the book", I found my "true" school.
I had to start over because I entered a different country and for whatever reason they didn't transfer credits over, plus the program was longer by an additional two months, but, sweet peas, it was the mercy I needed. My instructor, God bless her; she hasn't forgotten what it was like to be a student nurse.
She dishes the tough love with a helping heap of support and she's understanding if there is something like a death in the family. Unlike my other institution which LITERALLY stated during orientation, a f*****g copy of the death certificate must be turned in and included in your file in order for that absence to be counted as excused. Toxic on all levels. Many students ended up dropping by block 2 of 5.
My current institution doesn't have the same high pedigree and resources as my past institution, but, the humanity they deliver to their students is on par and more valuable than a name brand.
On top of that? They have a 98% first time NCLEX pass rate. Both for LPN and RN (their affiliate college). I'm almost done with my program, just 3 more months. Instead of feeling defeated I feel like I can get though this with "healthy" nursing school stress. While advancing toward my true goal.
Don't give up guys. I kniw my comment was a book. Even if you have a strict instructor, findng that one support syatem a friend in the course, males the difference between and anchor and a paper weight. It helped me with my first institution before I left. Know that it will be worth it towards the end. You didn't choose the wrong profession. This was meant to and will be tour new hunting ground. We just have to get through the obstacles.
Blake, dear, you have way too much energy!! I love ur videos. "The Spy" one cracked me up.
My clinical instructor once said to me "you re never going to be a nurse" . She was right. I have my nurse degree, but i am working hard to have my own business and i am happy. Perhaps one day i will send her a bar of dark chocolate to thank her.
I'm confused since dark chocolate has lead and cadmium.
I am 80% supporter and 20% the excited one! Love my students 😊
We had a clinical instructor with dementia… we would literally watch after her
What about the '' I didn't even want to be your mentor anyway! I'm waaay too busy for you" haha
what about the one that could barely bother to show up but expects you to chart everything down to how many times the patient blinks and then rips apart your care plan because you forgot (characteristics of urine....but the patient is ambulating on their own and just told you they peed at X o'clock)
I'm a new nurse and just went through all of this stuff. Blake, you have nailed everything I've gone through.
My very first clinical instructor was the supporter and it made all the difference in my learning experience starting out.
😫😭🤣 I get excited every time u post a video 🤣🤣🤣
I start nursing school this fall & I hope I get either the supporter or the excited one because yes to coffee any day
Is anyone else a total 15 year old and laughed when he said pink socks? No? Just me?
I’ll see myself out.
Ight I'm head out
The supporter is literally my clinical instructor to the t!! They’re a blessing and I wish all of tr were like that as the instructor really affects your learning for clinicals!!
I'm in Clinicals right now and I have the supporter! (And also excited too 😄)
This sure has me remembering and laughing, ! I’m in my seventies now but still recall the weird things my pulse did when I heard the footsteps (she wore heels !) of our practicum supervisor coming down the hall at three in the morning!, we had better have read all the patients files and have them memorized cause there would be a test starting at 3:02AM!
Nurse Blake you are so accurate with this video.
I think I just cracked a rib laughing at The Spy!
I have a mix of the excited one and supporter and as a first year nursing student it is a blessing that woman keeps me so confident 💜💜
i got flashbacks from my catheter critique when you did the supporter haha
My clinical instructor was very much the "excited one" lol
The patients have to see your name and your photo. GOOD BYE GOOD BYE !!😂😂 so funny
Been watching your videos and you keep it real. Keep doing what you do man.
my instructor is both the supporter and the excited one.
I’m not in or anywhere near the medical field. Doesn’t matter I can’t stop watch. The spy took me out 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh dear, I'm some where between supportive and excited. You students all look away me like im crazy
Amy Borynski awww they’re just nervous!! Everyone loves the supportive and excited ones 😊👍
@@MiamiPush2theLimit good to know! I try not to make you all nervous but....
You’re videos are so accurate. Flashing me back to 17 years ago. 😂
Mix the excited and supportive one 💖
Can you pleeeeease get your own tv show already! I just found you on TH-cam and you are sooo hilarious but so accurate at the same time! Being an RN is such a stressful job but you make it possible to laugh about it. There is nothing good on tv anymore but I would definitely watch you if you had your own show! 😊
My professor is all of them--- I can never know which one she will be for the day ☠️☠️☠️☠️
Nurse Blake you are right I'd been a labor nurse for 27 years and I faced all of those managers. Great performance
just finished my first OT placement ans was lucky enough to have a 'supporter'!! she was the sweetest thing and gave me so much confidence - basically became a second mum by the end of it
I think I have the best clinical instructor. She's very helpful and is there for us. She's not our enemy. She has expectations from us and she lets us know it. She's amazing though! Walks super fast, too! I hope to be like her someday.
The spy is my favorite ❤️ Blake is precious.
My one strict clinical instructor was also a care planner. Such a nightmare sending peers home if they didn't have theirs done beforehand. On top of that if you missed two clinical days you failed the course.
OMG! One of my clinical instructors was a combination of micromanager and care planner. If our care plans were under 17 pages long, we failed that assignment! I was traumatized. But by the grace if God, I passed that particular clinical.

I am a mix between the supporter and micro manager 😂
