Encouragement needed - Frustrated and insulted by hourly rates
26.50 per hour ? Here in Florida if you have at least 3 years experience in a hospital you can make 25.00 per hour. The rate for new grad is 22.00 per hour...

My first job.. :(
I will never forget my first job experience. I have never had good clinical experiences when I was in nursing school. Most of the nurses was not helpful, friendly, patient, or willing to teach, unfortunately my preceptor from my first job was one of those. She was nice to me, which I am thankful for, but some nurses from my floor talked about how negative she was and how sorry they were for me. She was so rude and used to yells at me in front of the pts (What a blow to my self-confidence! And how will I know what to do on my own if she didn't teachers me the way it was supposed to be, I felt like I was wasting her time and bothering her.) I had slowly progressed to doing assessments, routine meds, some wound care, and the occasional IV med. I've told her that I would like more experience, and she was saying that she'll let me do this and that, but she ends up sitting me at the computer to chart, disappearing, reappearing after varying lengths of time saying, "I took care of our meds. You're doing great. I'm going to take a little break," and disappearing again. So after 6 weeks I was so unhappy with the whole thing and decided to ask my director to let me finish my preceptorship with another nurse, I don't know why after that they ended my contract. I quickly realized that staff nursing isn't what I want to do with my license. I greatly admire staff nurses because they work extremely hard for so many hours, so many days a week; however, I know in my heart that I'm not cut out for that lifestyle. The reality is that a good or bad preceptor makes or breaks orientation for a new nurse.
