May besome one can give me some advice. I started my second clinical last week with a new preceptor. It went well, we decided what days I would be there. To-day I go in and the preceptor tells me that over the 3 day weekend she had some personal problems come up and was not sure how many days she would be in clinic after she came back from vacation and would not be able to precept me or the other student that she had on days I was not there.. I asked her if it had anything to do with me she said no, that it was her. I called my school and they had already talked to the orginization and told me the same thing that she had told me that she was feeling overwhelmed at this point. They are trying to find me another preceptor though. I am hoping that this person was being honest with me and that if she had a problem with me that she would have addressed any concerns that she had. Any thoughts anyone

if she couldn't look you in the face, that was her problem. i am sorry you are out of a preceptor right now but i am sure you will find one - and it will be a better situation for you because they won't be dreading having a student every day.
