Is just odd, and I need to vent.
She is a funny gal, likes to sit a lot at the nursing station and joke with her buddies. I laugh a lot, but I also struggle with her.
None of her joking is directed at me. She does her joking thing, then turns to me and tells me to go do something, or just says something sort of crappy.
She has me up to about 3 patients now. Granted, she leaves me alone and doesn't constantly nitpick at all -- guess I should be glad about that, but she doesn't exactly teach anything either.
Lately she was getting so short and rude with me I had to ask her to stop, and asked her if I was annoying her or what -- she responded and said, No, absolutely not, sweetie -- it's not you.
But that was it -- and so why is it then that she is so short and condescending? I am a 2nd degree nurse and I'm a bit older, but she and I are the same age. I doubt age is any issue.
The staff as assigned a general preceptor that will mentor all the new grads on the floor, and she is fantastic, but she can't be everywhere and we are generally supposed to still go to our main preceptor for help
Anyway, just am getting so tired of her snarky comments, especially when I ask her a question. All I fricking want is a straight answer and then to get on with my day - why is tha so hard? ?
I honestly don't know why people like this precept at all.
