10. Being a preceptor blows

    NurseJackson replied to RoyalNurse's topic in General Nursing

    As a recent new grad and soon to be preceptee I understand both sides. I believe that preceptors should understand that its a challenge to teach just as it is to learn under such conditions. Patients lives are at both of our hands and everyone wants ...
