See the student posts for more of this.

Australia changed from a hospital trained system to a University trained system (in the '80s I think), and it is amazing the number of bitter nurses out there saying that hospital training is better. GET OVER IT! Nursing moved into the Universities to give it the prestige that it deserves, and good nurses are coming out.

Many of our students have experienced it, but at 6'3" no nurse would dare bite me for no good reason. I appreciate it when nurses correct me, it is how I improve, and by no means do I know it all. I have also shown nurses new techniques, which they appreciated.

But this does happen, and it generally happens as the nurses start to burn out. In most cases if you have a issue with a student nurse, correct them in private not infront of pts or corridors, or tell their instructor/teacher who can work more closely with them.
