I had the same problem. I was new to ICU and I swear my preceptor hated me on sight. According to her, I could do nothing right, yet when I was given a new peceptor when she called off, I did fine....
Easiest way for me to work through it and make sure all of my dates were correct was to keep my resume with me and refer to it when I was going through the form. It didn't take long to do, it just...
