Thank goodness for kind and compassionate preceptors. Supportive role models make all the difference in the world. One day, you will be the preceptor who will be looked to for guidance. My best to you as you continue your journey. About losing it at work....Nurses think they are supposed to have all the answers all the time-and they are supposed to be efficient when working their miracles. YEAH RIGHT! Do your best and keep in close touch with the nursing education department at your facility. The facility needs and wants to keep you. Staffing turnover costs a lot of money!
