    DoGoodThenGo replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    DoGoodThenGo replied to aromarn's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  10. Being a preceptor blows

    DoGoodThenGo replied to RoyalNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Can only offer one suggestion, make sure you CYOA so that the new nurse's mistakes and errors don't take you down as well. Also would say yes, it can be helpful to sit her down (perhaps after or...

    DoGoodThenGo replied to kikwon89's topic in General Students
