I can remember the night my preceptor in a Level I trauma center seeing 150 patients a day said "give yourself six months" and I thought, God, she must think I'm stupid..but she was right. Start with the end in mind, 'in one month, I will see the system, in two months, I will work well with the system, and in three months, I will be fine"...best words from a seasoned RN..." be easy on yourself, keep your sense of humor, and stay patient focused, you won't go wrong." 30 years later, I continue to remember her words..enjoy your journey.

I have been an RN for 35 years and an NP for only one....from your noted behaviors from the MD...you will never have a professional relationship with this MD. This is about safe patient care and credibility. Cut your losses and get out. Nursing has always taken the high road, let him have his trash behaviors...walk away knowing you can rise above that, others know.
