This is my first week of new grad orientation and I'm already questioning my choice of job acceptance. Here's the scoop- When I accepted the new grad position, the nurse manager that I interviewed with, offered me the position and said that orientation would be during day shift. If I accepted the position she said that she would call me back regarding the name of the preceptor and details of the start date.She stressed that the start date could be flexible to meet my needs. I accepted the position and informed the nurse manager that I could start the monday following taking my boards, 07/09. I did not receive a phone call or e-mail prior to Monday after taking boards telling of my start date and name of preceptor. So I called the nurse manager, the monday after taking boards to get details about this. She informed me that I would start on 7/23 at 0800 but that I should call M in nursing office who was handling the new grad orientation. So I called and left a message for M to call me back regarding details of start date. M did not call back on 07/09 or 07/10. So I called on 07/11 and was able to speak to her. SM informed me that I would start on the 07/23 at 0800. So marked that down on my calendar. And had week to enjoy summer festivities and celebrate passing the NCLEX exam. So I arrive on 07/23 at 0800 as instructed by M and nurse manager. When I arrive I am informed that I was not expected to be here until 1500.How is that possible? Z from a different nursing office informs me that i am supposed to be orienting on PMs 'cause there's not enough staff on days to pull someone to precept. I responded that I woke up at 0500 to get here. So the head nurse for that shift sets me up with a preceptor dujour on a different unit. I am angry :angryfire and confused:uhoh3:. Who is my contact person and my real preceptor?. On tuesday I found who my real preceptor was and got a schedule of new grad classes. By coming in on the evening shift I missed a personal enrichment class that I set up during week of 07/10 based on the information that I would be orienting on days. So I also feel some resentment. I don't want to encounter this level of miscommunication again. Should I stay or should I go?
