I think that I would want to go to the med-surg unit in order to get a better foundation with my meds but my biggest fear is that my preceptor will confuse my willingness to try and strengthen my weakness as just plain "stupidity" and not being able to handle being on a med-surg unit which would obviously hurt my chances of being hired anywhere within other departments higher up

Thanks for the tips and advice sparrow91

I need to choose an area/department for my preceptorship but I am not sure how to go about picking my area. I know that I am weak with "recalling on the spot" medications and what they are used for but I can figure it out eventually. I do like the mental health aspect of nursing but they are not offering that as a rotation. The difficulty is that I want to pick a department where I feel I will be able to continue to have that atmosphere of being able to learn and grow because I do not feel like I am prepared to be "alone". What department does anyone feel that would be the best place for me to continue learning. My biggest fear is being placed in a department where they feel I am not "strong" enough to be in this profession and they fail me during preceptorship. Any advice on which departments you can suggest that will be best suited for me?
