Hi thanks for the replies, this is a formal update on the situation. It was a horrible experience and I did go to the clinical placement manager who is also the program director (smh) to ask for a new placement which she refused to give me. This prog...

Oh my what a Pandora's box I have opened. Then I wonder what if no one on a unit wants to precept and this I ask speaking from experience. Two years ago every nurse the manager approached refused to precept so she had to mandate someone... oh boy w...
