Absolutely. She should have she was looking for money when she verbally agreed to precept me two years earlier. Not professional at all.

I had problems finding preceptors as well. I even had the experience of finding a preceptor who actually signed the agreement with my school and then ended up standing me up several times before I figured she wasn't going to do it. The one day she actually precepted me, she made a comment that another school gave her a check for precepting one of their students. When I mentioned to her that I didn't think my school participated in that practice, she started the shenanigans. I was in a jam so I contacted the retail clinics (CVS, Walgreens, Rediclinic) I was able to obtain a new preceptor and site quickly. I wouldn't recommend going to a retail clinic for more than one semester. But, this helped me when I found myself without a preceptor. And, it was an interesting rotation. I hope this helps.

I experienced something similar. I worked night shift at an acute care hospital. Everyone was pretty much friendly with me and very helpful. After 7 months at the hospital, I started an FNP program. I made the mistake of telling one person who decided to tell everyone else. All of a sudden I found myself the recipient of the worse assignments available and more patients than everyone else working. When I asked another nurse a question about work, I often got a comment like "you're the one who wants to be a nurse practitioner. figure it out". I thought I was imagining it until it happened to another coworker who enrolled in the program a semester after I did. I think you'd be better off in a position away from that practice. Your coworkers are obviously jealous. If you were hired there, they'd probably give you a hard time or do their best to get you fired from the position. Besides, you might benefit from a change of scenery in your new role. Good luck in school!
