I posted this somewhere else but want some opinons. I am in between 2nd and 3rd semesters in nursing school and taking an externship.
I just started my externship and so far I have found many precpetors to be hlpful and informative. Expect for mine. My preceptor is an arrogant, whiny nurse who likes to power trip, thinks she knows everything, and doesn't want to teach me anything. Its quite obviuos she is in the precpetorship for the $2 an hour extra. I distinctly got that feeling when she asked me why I was in a hurry to learn things (as this was slowing her down). She was hoping I would be a lazy extern content to take up space. Too bad for her. This is an optional gig for us at our school, so we are all externing (those of us from my school anyways)because we are the best in our class, and the one who want to learn the most before graduating. I am so aggravated!
