I want to start a new thread which says "New grad orientation and manager is putting me on an action plan" but could not see how to start one. So I aam posting here. I have been on orientation for 9 weeks with a seriously flawed orientation system- my preceptor has been a nurse for 2 years and decided on week 5 she could not handle the role. After that, 5 other random nurses on my floor stepped in on an as needed/oer shift basis. No direction as to what I am supposed to be held accountable for per shift.
Then a random meeting (impromptu) with the clinical educator [which I later found out was a TEST to see if I am passing or failing].
No warning, no preparation and no follow up from that person. She apparently has gone to my hiring manager with her feedback which I assum I will get when that hiring manager (who I fel has my back) and I meet to go over what they are calling an "Action plan".
My questoin is IS this even fair?
What are my best tools to bring besides a positive mindset and a goal to not focus on the managements lack of preparaedness for me/their lack of clarification for me?
I have a feeling the educator wants me fired as my first intro to her on orientation was pretty interesting- she cornered me/bullied me and asked why I was even hired on the unit I am on becuase it is a hard unit for a new grad????? Yikes I feel monopolized and I am hoping I am wrong but I am feeling like someone wants me gone. I am feeling like I have my whole adult life: women are jealous of me. It's not fun. Please understand I am THE FIRST TO WANT TO CHANGE AND GROW, but this is not fair to surprise someone with a "test" when there is no reason for it. My orientation was (I was hired for) 12-16 weeks, then at 2 weeks, another manager (that did not hire me) said "NO". Then again, the manager hiring me say "YES" and then I got two more weeks. Now, I have 2 weeks left (out of the original 12) and I am told I will be getting "feedback and an action plan".
Yikes.
Thanks for any input you could offer!
