I recently left a job, for various reasons, but mainly because each preceptor I was with had a 'different way' of doing things, in all aspects. It was pretty confusing, and when I mentioned that I was having difficulty with policies and protocols, they said to just ask them.
They did have a Policy and Procedures manual but it was very brief. When I mentioned it to my preceptor she said she had never even seen it. To me this sounds sketchy and if anything were to go wrong, the nurses would be thrown under the bus.
I'm wondering how other people dealt with this or if it is common? It seems extreme to leave a job over this but I felt so uncomfortable following policies that were just by word of mouth.
