    Default She was groveling and kissing the instructors's feet! LITERALLY!

    In addition to my secretary job, I got a job as a testing assistant with a health school. I help a nurse instructor give the state exams to nursing assistants. There are a lot of really cool people, and I love giving pep talks to the students and help them practice their skills. However, I met the most fucked up woman in the world today. I feel really bad for such a socially inept, possible slightly mentally retarded person, but her behavior really shocked the hell out of me.

    She was from Somalia. She had trouble with English, but the language barrier isn't what gave me the impression of ineptitude. You know how some people are just so obviously slow, even on first impression? I found her in the wrong meeting area of the facility, despite the fact that this was her third time testing. I told her where to go, and had to repeat myself several times. She just seemed to oblivious to everything, so in her own world, so slow, and she'd chronically ask you to repeat something you said 5 minutes ago. I immediately thought that I would not trust her taking care of people. She proceeded to annoy me for the remainder of the testing period. I tried to be patient with her, but she could not comprehend the meaning of things like, "Please go back to the lounge. Your presence interfering with another student's testing could result in disqualification. I will get you when it is your turn."

    She has failed the nursing assistant state exam 3 times as of today (You take the class, then get tested in skills and a written test. If you fail, you have to pay to retake). It wasn't over minor stuff either. She forgot to wear gloves when changing the diaper and when brushing teeth (the patient drooled and gloves are required in all bodily fluid contact activities). She also almost dropped the woman she was transferring because she didn't lock the wheelchair. The instructor had to stop the skills (automatic flunking of the skill, you have to pass 4 out of 5 skills to pass) because there was possible danger to the patient. She freaked out and tried to negotiate/argue/make excuses. the nurse tried to explain, but the woman was almost hysterical (not crying, more like smiling and groveling). She then proceeded to get down on the ground and KISS THE INSTRUCTOR'S FEET! You read correctly. The instructor ordered me to stay close to her as she explained why the woman flunked and put the patient in danger. Luckily, she didn't go nuts. She was probably used to flunking by then.

    I don't know if it's cultural, or if she's socially inept, or if she is slightly mentally retarded, or a combination, but there is something wrong with this poor woman. Maybe she was kept cloistered and stupid by a male-dominated society, and this is how she reacts. Either way, the instructor later explained the situation to me. She said that the woman would never practice her skills during the clinical practices, she rather jsut hung around the instructor and looked on even after the umpteenth demonstration. She also said that she didn't show up half the time but her husband would come in and explain that she didn't drive and he couldn't take her to school at the time, and actually come in and ask why she was flunking.

    I feel bad for a the woman, but I'm glad that people like her are weeded out from taking care of fragile old people. I took the nursing assistant course prior to nursing school and while it wasn't the easiest thing I've ever taken, you still have to be a total idiot (not just academically) to flunk, especially repeatedly.

    I hope this woman is okay, or will turn out okay. From what I've seen, I don't think that she has the ability to take care of herself.

    Since she flunked 3 times, she has to retake the class. God, how much money is that down the drain? It's $800 for the class (includes tuition, licensing, fees, scrubs, stethescope, testing fees, everything), which she'll have to repay to retake, and $30 per test retake. I think that the school officials are going to try to convince her to give up by tactfully asking her if she really wants to do this.
