No preceptor, school does not assist with preceptor. They will give you a list of locations used in past.....and, like most healthcare agencies those people have since moved on....2nd year student no clinical placement....over $30,000 invested and still looking for a preceptor. Most agencies have down right said no. And, then if you have a friend of someone you know personally that is qualified to be a preceptor barriers are met by the agency they work for.....highly disappointed......and if the school insists they find a clinical site and preceptor ask them to be more specific....unfortunately, I did not educate myself well enough on this matter.....additionally, it's sad the school is still taking new students $$$

Yes I am a RN!

The facility does not want night shift nurses calling MD we are to call our RNS like I said and they are to call MD. I don't know if they do or don't call MD...I just started there in Sept and feel uncomfortable with this practice bubut everyone does it without question...I think its time for change I did it twice and felt uncomfortable with it....I'm finished now....they will have to discipline me I guess because if the RNS is to call the MD the RNS can document they did or didnt and what orders were received.

I recently took a night shift RN position in a ltc facility. Per the policy at facility I notify RNS of any issues and the RNS is responsible to call MD yet they want me to document MD aware. It makes me feel really uncomfortable and I think of legalities. Any insight would be great since its facility policy yet I believe its not my responsibility to chart MD aware since I never called them. I also feel its incomplete documentation since I write MD aware but just leave it at that nothing follows because I don't get any new orders or any instruction since I never called MD the supervisor is supposed to...so I feel the supervisor should chart it then.
