UNBC consistently supports the chair of UNBC’s School of Nursing, Martha
MacLeod, no matter what she and some of her faculty members do to nursing
students. UNBC officials turn a deaf ear
to the student's complaints unless the student's lawyer is involved. Since 2011 UNBC has forbidden students from
employing lawyers during the appeal process. Yet hiring a lawyer at one’s own expense was the only means by
which students could try to defend their rights at UNBC.
Here
is an example from my experience in UNBC's nursing program.
Sandra Barnes is a
registered nurse newly graduated from UNBC and previously my classmate in this
program. I encountered her when I took my last course needed to graduate, NURS
440 (community health nursing - practicum), and went to observe for a few hours in
a community health nursing clinic in Prince George. Sandra
Barnes was working there, and conducted herself quite unprofessionally toward
me. Several times Sandra Barnes showed
me her middle finger to express her personal hostility towards me and her
dislike of a new policy intended to improve nursing students' clinical/practicum
experiences. Ms. Barnes also expressed
very strong negative, aggressive feelings aimed at me personally and at student
nurses and doctors in general. This
happened in the reception area of the clinic, in the presence of another staff
member, and where, at any time, clients or the general public could walk in.
Despite my request,
Sandra Barnes never did provide me with an apology for her unprofessional,
offensive and humiliating conduct towards me.
It is clear to me that nurses really do eat their young.
Here
is an example of how UNBC's instructor
Khaldoun Aldiabat communicated with me in NURS 440 (community health nursing - practicum)
about my experience with Sandra Barnes mentioned above.
