My story about precepters tends to make my stomache hurt when I think about it. I wanted to be an OR nurse really, really bad. I transfered to the OR a few months ago. I had a different precepter everytime that I turned around. Of course every thing the last precepter taught me was wrong and I had to learn the new precepters way's. When ever I brought up that what they were doing either wasn't the way pollicy stated it should be or that there was a new standard for that perticular thing, I was met with resistance, and had a few precepters go and complain over issues that I felt they should have been teaching me about. There was even stories that there seemed to have only a grain of truth to them. I was even met in the hallway one day with the greeting of what are you doing hear? I heard you were on the way out. I left that hospital not sure of my trainning, my self esteme in the toilet. I had to take time off to recover from a nonrelated injury, tomorrow I start working in a new hospital and hopefully with nurses who can teach in positive feed back and not continual critticism.
