heartbroken needed to vent

Nurses General Nursing

after 6 weeks of training I resigned. My preceptor gave me hell. literally hell. Even my coworkers agree on that. I told my manager that I'm not clicking with my preceptor but she said stick with her coz she's the best. and so I followed her advice. as a nurse se maybe good but as a preceptor she sucks so bad that I couldn't handle the stress anymore. it was so hard. so now I'm jobless again. I love med surg I loved it that I learned alot in a short span of time but like one of the nurses who cried coz I left said, what happened was not fair. She said I was working under avery stressful environment and having that lady as a preceptor jut made it worse. I really want to work in a med surg dept just the preceptor and other haters made it so hard.pls don't judge me I just needed to vent. Most if the nurses said that they hate to see me go coz they really liked me. I just couldn't work in that kind of an environment anymore. Stress caused by work work I can handle but stressed induced coz I was bullied that I couldn't anymore. I don't think anybody deserved this kind of treatment. to be yelled at in front of other people to literally shame me in front of my pts. It's my fault too coz I just let it all happen, I never said anything. I just let her walk all over me. A lesson that I learned the hard way. never again will I let anybody treat me like that. Now I'm afraid that I'm not going to be able to find another job on med surg :,(

I used to CRY every day at work for the first few months. I'd get home, and I'd cry. I'd cry on the way TO work, I'd cry the day before because I had to go to work. I hated it, and I was bent on finding a new job. I did stick with it though and once I got through that initial training period, was on my own and started to get more comfortable in my own skin as a nurse- my job isn't so bad and I'm more than happy to be employed.

welcome to allnurses! we're a very helpful group and are here to offer sympathy, a listening ear, ideas,

to share similar awful exeriences and how we survived.

unfortunately, all precepters aren't all sweet wonderful kind helpful people. it would be great if they were

but that isn't how the world works.

my first precepter was the precepter everyone expects to get. a week later, her husband had an mi and she

took an extended leave of absence and was replaced by the nurse from the pits of ... uh... heck. her voice reminded me of the noise a fork makes when it scrapes your teeth.:eek:

my mom called me over the first weekend and the inevitable flood of tears came, she asked if i were learning despite her attitude. i was. then she said if i could somehow force myself to tune out the fisheye looks and

her obnoxious voice, not only would i become a more knowledgeable rn, but the exerience would force me to grow

up.

it was a hard lesson, but this many years later, i realize dealing with her helped my dealing with obnoxious people

skills to grow.
