OK so here is the background:
I'm a new grad starting in the ER were I worked as a CNA for the last year of school. I am 40 years old and a guy.
I was assigned a preceptor who I knew would be tough but I have discovered that she is an abusive ***** (she actually said " my little sister who is not a nurse could get this!"). also she is not teaching me anything, just telling me how incompetent I am.
Now I know how to stand up for myself and all that, but I have a feeling that she is vindictive as hell and she is also one of the charge nurses.
I am not sure that complaining will help me because she will just say that I can't handle the job and that I am blaming her.
She has won awards and is a big deal in the eyes of the higher-ups....
She has also accumulated a lot of enemies in the ER with her abusive behavior but they all seem to be to scared to say anything...
So should I risk it?
I can probably survive, but have this annoying need to not let her get away with her bullying and abuse.
By the way I can totally handle the job ....
What I can't Handle is keeping quiet about all that I am witnessing and experiences.
Tell me what you think.
