    strive2Bbetter posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    so generally speaking, 6 weeks to precept for a new grad.. maybe more or less... how long into precepting should your preceptor leave you alone to handle the patients? and how often should the...

  2. Overwhelmed and lost

    strive2Bbetter replied to strive2Bbetter's topic in Health, Stress Management

    strive2Bbetter posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    I am on my second day with my preceptor. I know it's overwhelming for both my preceptor and I. but I feel more lost and overwhelmed than anything. my preceptor is very nice... but I feel like she's...

  4. preceptor questions?

    strive2Bbetter replied to strive2Bbetter's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I never asked to switch preceptors. but it came to the point where my preceptor relied on me to do the work, and because I'm so fairly new, there were things that I still need to get used to where...

  5. preceptor questions?

    strive2Bbetter replied to strive2Bbetter's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I spoke up after the third day of precepting. I knew my preceptor wasn't helping me. I was informed that because of scheduling I couldn't get a new preceptor. but after the beginning of this week is...

    strive2Bbetter replied to strive2Bbetter's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Lol I am just asking for suggestions/ advice/ tips from more experience out there. Maybe I wasnt clear enough about being overwhelmed on my first week, rather first few days of precepting. I know I...

  7. Overwhelmed and lost

    strive2Bbetter replied to strive2Bbetter's topic in Health, Stress Management

    sorry my English isn't very good. I graduated two years ago, but wasn't able to get my license until fall of last year. so now that I got job I'm rusty on my skills. hence me asking my preceptor to...

  8. Overwhelmed and lost

    strive2Bbetter replied to strive2Bbetter's topic in Health, Stress Management

    like I said I don't need my hand held. I need to know that I am doing something correctly when I feel unsure about it, hence the reason why I tell my preceptor to go with me and check if I am doing...

  9. Overwhelmed and lost

    strive2Bbetter replied to strive2Bbetter's topic in Health, Stress Management

    to be honest, I don't know what my preceptor does. I spend more than half the day looking for my preceptor. I'm just grateful for the other nurses around to help orient. they did a mass hire. so there...

  10. Overwhelmed and lost

    strive2Bbetter replied to strive2Bbetter's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I understand what you are saying. but I don't think that is the case. I've made it clear to my preceptor when I have questions about my practice. I've asked my preceptor several times, to watch me,...

  11. preceptor questions?

    strive2Bbetter replied to strive2Bbetter's topic in First Year After Licensure

  12. preceptor questions?

    strive2Bbetter replied to strive2Bbetter's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm a new grad and was on my third day orienting when my preceptor started to hide from me when it came to our patients. they would tell me to get the meds and that they'd be right behind me. as soon...

  13. preceptor questions?

    strive2Bbetter replied to strive2Bbetter's topic in First Year After Licensure

    no I'm not exaggerating. this is my first job. I want to make sure that I am doing things the right way. it's better for me to get into the habit of doing things the correct way in the beginning. so...

  14. preceptor questions?

    strive2Bbetter replied to strive2Bbetter's topic in First Year After Licensure

    4-5 patients usually. and nothing major going on with the patients, because I was the one who took care of them all.. one of our patients went to the OR and my preceptor admitted another patient, but...

    strive2Bbetter replied to T.Dix.Nurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    today was my very first day with my preceptor. and I was just lost off the bat. I told her I wanted to see how she does things first and that I would like to slowly ease my way in. it's my first job....

  17. Any tips/advice before starting an (associate) accelerated nursing program?

    strive2Bbetter replied to Tam3321's topic in General Students

    for me it was. I applied everywhere. Regardless of the minimum 2 year experience and bsn preferred requirements, I still applied. I had a hard time getting interviews and a lot of rejection letters. I...

  18. Any tips/advice before starting an (associate) accelerated nursing program?

    strive2Bbetter replied to Tam3321's topic in General Students

    well the program I did ended up having a completely different grading scale... 76% was passing. I was a perfectionist too so that could've contributed to me not getting what I want. I think just the...

  19. Any tips/advice before starting an (associate) accelerated nursing program?

    strive2Bbetter replied to Tam3321's topic in General Students

    I graduated from an accelerated nursing program. it was hard core and fast paced. I started out in the summer and tbh I cried almost every single day until that semester was over... when I look back,...
