Nov 3,2011- I spoke to Lindsey concerning two issues that I had observed in clinical throughout the last two weeks. Lindsey has been demonstrating an attitude in whatever was asked of her. Her nonverbal communication with the staff and myself has become unacceptable. Initially, she denied having a poor attitude but as we spoke of some situations, she realized that she needed to change. I had given her an option to think about it over the weekend and if she was willing to change, then she could come to clinical in Monday. She was aware that should she come with a negative attitude from this point on, she would be asked to leave. 
The second issue that I spoke to Lindsey about was her running away from new experiences and only doing enough with her patients to get by. I told her that I specifically opened up two learning experiences with sq injections today as she and three other students stood by and she left both times. Lindsey stated that she is afraid of new experiences. I informed her that this was normal but in order to pass this rotation, she would need to be at my side and ready to learn. She assured me that she will work on it.
