I have decided that I am going to seek opportunities elsewhere. I do not want to risk further retaliation. I noticed a change in my second preceptor's behavior after I had gone to the manager to request to change my previous preceptor. I did not have any issues with him up until then. The manager spoke to the previous preceptor. After meeting with the manager the preceptor told me that she wanted to speak to me privately. The preceptor told me that I should have come to her first. I did try to talk to her first. When I would have discussions with her, she would either scoff or make a belittling comment. She told me that I should follow the chain of command. She also said that I should be careful due to workplace politics. Last Friday, the new preceptor stood back and watched while I nearly made a mistake. I had almost given a patient the wrong fluids. Luckily, another nurse was present. He and I both noticed the error, which was something the preceptor should have done. I had it corrected with his assistance. I am all for preceptors hanging back, but only when they provide guidance.

I started a nurse residency program a month ago on a neuro floor. I was told during my interview with the manager that the unit consisted of neuro which sometimes has med-surg patients if there is an overflow. That is not the case, I have had more med-surg patients than neuro patients. I was also told that I would have one preceptor, but I have two preceptors assigned to me. From my very first day, I have felt unsupported and unwanted. I had requested to change one of the preceptors because she had berated and belittled me during the first two weeks. I requested to change to another preceptor. The manager honored my request. However, I think they are retaliating. During my third and fourth week, both preceptors threw me to the wolves. The second preceptor told me he had assigned me three hard assignments to make sure that I would be able to handle those types of assignments when I was off orientation. I was left to take care of them alone while he took care of the other two patients with little support. I met the new preceptor that I had been assigned to me a few nights ago. She was cold and distant and assigned me hard assignments with no help. Her reasoning was also the same- to make sure I could handle it once I was off orientation. She would come into the rooms with me, but she would not walk me through tasks or how to do things. Or tell me if I was doing something wrong. I am about to begin my fifth week of a twelve-week orientation. I have not been checked off for any skills for the duration that I have been there. I am given an excuse when I ask for opportunities. I was told that they did not want to take away opportunities from the other orienteers and that I would have more opportunities after some had finished their orientation. Some orienteers have completed their orientation, but I have still not been checked off for any skills. I feel like I am being set up for failure. I do not know what to do anymore.

It usually takes 1-2 days. I took the NCLEX last month on the 27th. The TBON did not post my license until the 29th.

I went yesterday and spoke to the program coordinator since the instructor was not there. I showed her the texts. She told me that an investigation would be launched. She also thanked me for letting them know about it.

Thank you for your advice. I am going to report it tomorrow while I am on campus. I do not want to take a chance of being kicked out of the program because I knew about it and did not come forward.

I am in the first semester of my program. There are classmates in my school that are sharing answers to tests and quizzes. Today, one of my classmates texted me with a file that contain the answers to an upcoming quiz. I have not opened the file that she sent to me. I also have not responded to any of her text messages. It ticks me off that students like myself spend countless hours studying and others just cheat their way through.
