I always tell the nurses I precept to start with "I am a new nurse and I hope you will understand if I ask you to repeat yourself or spell it so I get it right." I even used that after I left my job after 29 years and started a new job. It makes others stop and realize you are new instead of having "that attitude and voice" if you ask them to repeat themselves. I tell them they can use that phrase for awhile until they are are comfortable with themselves. Believe me, it works! Good Luck!
