President Hughes;
We the undersigned former students of Professor Denise Clement are disappointed with her recent dismissal and are submitting this petition to have her reinstated. We, her students, are familiar with her practice pattern, judgments and character and are appalled at the charges levied against her. We state the following:
Prof Clement never bullied or intimidated ANY student during clinicals. In fact, she was overtly kind, supportive, caring and went out of her way to assist us with our needs. Her support was unwavering and she never complained when we reached out at all hours and her days off.
Prof Clement never left us unsupervised. We were very fortunate to have the many clinical experiences she set up for us throughout the facilities. When we were off our units she rounded constantly to check on us and provide us with clinical guidance and support wherever we were each day.
Prof Clement never asked us to buy her snacks. She asked us to bring snacks for the unit. On the final week she bought a nice gift for the unit and we were happy to oblige.
Prof Clement was never late or absent from clinical. Period!
Prof Clement never watched tv with us, period!
Prof Clement never threatened us with any actions regarding her position or ours.
Prof Clement took us off the floor when there was nothing left to do and taught us numerous things from iv insertion, how to read ekgs, abg interpretation, chest tubes, dka management, ventilators, etc. ——- and these extra classes certainly aided us in success. Some of us would add that without her instruction we would not have passed many courses and we frequently asked her to teach us in the classroom setting.
Prof Clement never gave us hospital supplies to take home other than what we used in class or patient care
Prof Clement has been a very positive force in the success of the students listed here. When we had issues with other instructors and incidents she was always there with a kind word of support, expert guidance and a hug. She genuinely cared for us and we for her. We do not understand how CCN can be dismissive of Prof Clement and retain other instructors who have a proven track record of abuse and intimidation.
In summary, Prof Clement has been a tremendous asset to CCN. She has been a driving force in our success in the clinical arena. Therefore, we request that she be reinstated as Professor. Being pinned at graduation is an awesome component of the ceremony and many of us requested Prof Clement to pin us out of the respect and admiration that we have for her.
Sincerely,
Chamberlain College of Nursing Students

The stories you are sharing about Professor Clement prove exactly why this dismissal is wrong. I am compiling everything to present to the administration.

I have had the honor of having Professor Clement as a clinical instructor a number of times and I have never had any ill feelings toward her or the way she taught us. In fact I felt as though she was one of the best instructors I have ever had. She is very passionate about her work and her drive to help us as students. She has always been a great resource outside of class and text books. To hear of these allegations is mind blowing and quite hard to believe myself.
Professor Clement is one of the best and most understanding clinical instructors Chamberlain had. I can't believe that she is accused of things that I'm sure of she never did. Her dedication to her job and students helped me to get through many classes. Her style of teaching is far above any clinical instructors I have experienced so far in the past 2.5 years of attending Chamberlain. I will be requesting her to pin me at the day of graduation because she is my mentor and her experience is what makes me successful up to date. Chamberlain lost one of the bests respected professors for wrongful accusation. I would love to see her back at the hospital with students.
Professor Clement was one of the best instructor that I have had for clinical. Her energy level was very high and her interest and enthusiasm to teach was very evident. She is knowledgeable about the material, and expressed her thoughts in an easily understandable manner. She gave me a lot of helpful hints and excellent clinical experiences. Moreover, she provided a great deal of useful information from her own experiences. She managed the class very well, answering questions that applied to the subjects being discussed and deferring off-subject discussions until the end of the clinical hours. To be honest; I am very lucky to have an instructor such as professor clement.
I learned a lot during the many clinical sessions that Denise Clement instructed. She is vigilant and make sure that all students learning needs are met. Denice Clement to the best of my knowledge treated the students professionally and with respect, she gave us the needed foundation such that no one feel marginalized by her course. She gave prompt feedback to student, and help us refocus and critical think out of the box. Should I have course for more clinical, I will be glad to be her student again. It is a shame to here that she is not at CCN currently, I believe that Denise Clement should be reinstated so as not to deprived the coming student from learning from the wealth of experience she generously gave to all her students.
100% disagree with your assessment of Denise. In the 3 years and numerous clinical rotations I have had with Denise, I would have to say that your accusations are way off base. Denise was always there for us and would know your patients med schedule before you did so she would know when find you to make sure she was present when administering medications. She would never be in a patients room without the student, let alone sitting and watching t.v. and as far as political views, those are an individual choice and thick skin is needed. Denise fully knew my military background and conservative views, did she rib me about them, yes, but opinions are to the individual and you take them with a grain of salt and move on. I feel there is something more to your vendetta against Denise.
learned a lot from allk the clinical session that Professor Clement instructed. We were given excellent direction and she is very understanding and accommodating and never pull down any of my co-student through out the clinical session she instructed. Professor Clement is vigilant and make sure that all student learning needs are met. She treated all of us equally with respect and gave us (the student) the needed foundation, such that no one feel marginalized by her course. She gave timely feedback to student, that remind us to stay focus. She make me think out of the box and view the total picture. I am surprise about the complains because I believe it is out of context. Moresore, I was privilege to have been clinically instructed by Professor Clement and not once did I or any of my co-student experience any of the levied allegations to the best of my knowledge. It will be a shame to dismiss her and deprived coming nursing student from the wealth of experience Professor Clement possess.

Denise Clement is definitely an instructor who has made the top of my list for best clinical instructors all around. I had her for my Critical Care rotation, and I must say that I was very fortunate to have her during that session. She made sure we learned, used, and emphasized critical thinking skills in the nursing practice. Letting go of Professor Clement will be a huge mistake. If anyone really knew Professor Clement, they would know these allegations are false.
