Oh dear. I definitely watch people write notes... you see, I'm a 1st year and am still learning how to write notes, so it's super beneficial to see how it's done! Still, maybe I'd better back off. I have, however, never followed a preceptor into the bathroom or added them to FB, however.
Yep, guilty of following the resident to the bathroom. However in my defense, she never told me where she was going, and would yell at me if I wasn't right there when she wanted me for something. Sometimes you just can't win.
And also guilty of friending residents on fb. Only a couple of them that I actually became friends with outside of the hospital too, though.
To be fair, I once had a preceptor walk into the bathroom, and when I DIDN'T follow him, he turned around and said, "well, come on. I have something to show you." Mind you, he is a male and I am a female. . . .it turned out there was a sign in the bathroom that he wanted to show me. Nerve-wracking moment, I didn't know where things were going for a second. Point is, it's not just students with the boundary problem.
Time for a restraining order.
ReplyDeleteI have had med students do all four of those things to me. Well, except for the earrings bit, cuz I don't wear earrings.
ReplyDeleteOnce a med student stood over me, watching me write an EMG report, because, "OMG, I never saw a real EMG report before!!!!"

Oops, subtract that last however.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure everyone follows their resident into the bathroom at least once.
ReplyDeleteFizzy- it discourages them if you then test the EMG machine on them. Especially if the needle is the same one you just used on a patient.

I had a preceptor add me.....felt a little awkward.
ReplyDeleteHa ha!
ReplyDeleteOkay, now I might be (might be) guilty of three of those, but I never once followed a resident into the bathroom...I just had to go too.
What happens if a resident sends you a friend request on facebook?
ReplyDeleteLOL.
ReplyDeleteEarrings: nope
Note taking: nope
Loo walks: almost
FB: not in a million years.
