I recently started a position on a sub acute unit. The preceptor is very nasty. For example when she was told I had to shadow her without notice- all hell broke loose. I totally understand her being angry due to not having a notice but she did not have to react the way she did. There was a bunch of eye rolling, snide comments and rude tones. I have had the same thing happen to me and I did NOT respond like that, I made the best of the situation. Besides nurses must be flexible.
She then says " I know I'm rude and you don't have to wait for others to tell you that because I already know it"
Apparently I'm not the only one who has complained about her rudeness. The first day I tried to kill her with kindness but I'm not doing that tomorrow. I want her to start with me because I'm really not in the mood and I kind of just want to set her straight once and for all.
People only do what you allow them to do to you and I'm NOT going to allow her to treat me like this any longer.
