Problem with Preceptor,,Please. please , please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[work77]

Hello everyone, I am a new grad and I am on orientation .This is my 12th running.So far, After 6-7 weeks,I have done almost everything myself in my shift ( from taking report , assessment, meds, charting, calling MD for abnormal values etc.So far , I haven't encounter any life-threatening emergencies on the unit )If i have any questions , don't feel confidence doing things, i always get preceptor and clarify before I proceed .We (me and my preceptor) had couple of meeting with with my nurse manager separately .The way I am getting feedback from my manger is completely different and I was very surprised.It looks like my preceptor had not give them true feedback to them. After 7 weeks, she never watched me doing anything unless I approach her and asked for help. she comes to the work and sits in nursing station for whole shift and go home.I know I still have many more things to learn but the way I am getting reports is making me down and I have feeling that I will never be a good nurse. My manager keep saying," according to you preceptor, you need some more time before you act on you own." But I don't think I need extra time now if my preceptor is not teaching me anything ..I feel very disappoint ..I wish my manger know all these things about my preceptor ...Can someone please help me what should I do ?????????

Please Please Please

What is she saying specifically that is making you "have a feeling that I will never be a good nurse"? Do you think you are doing well OR are there some aspects that you can honestly work on?

If they are giving you extra time for orientation, that is a good sign; seek out your preceptor before you do anything and everything so that the is no confusion as to what you know versus what you need work in.

Thank you so much for your comments. I think I am doing good day by day.The way I am getting respond from my manger is making me feel like I am not going to be a good nurse on the floor. I am working very hard on my part..I had a feeling like they will kick me out from the job although they havenot said anything like that..( may be I am being too paranoid (()))))))))

You need a conference with your manager and preceptor. Identify the issues involved and discuss them . What written feedback do you receive from your preceptor?
