I found myself crying so badly while reading through all these posts. I am a new grad from uni, being hired straight to the theatre as a scrub/scout in a private hospital less than two months Nurse482488,i totally can understand your feeling. I do not get support from my so called "clinical educator" at all, in fact she only talked to me once up to now. I do not have a preceptor and everyday, I am being allocated with different nurses, different cases and in different theatre. Most of them are actually quite nice to me when I ask them questions. However, most of the time I feel like i was a hinder to them, especially when they are having their chit chat session. Hopefully just like most of you guys said, I would feel more comfortable after a few months. I love nursing and I will try very hard to hang on there. It is very nice to feel that I am not the only one feeling lost in the theatre. Fingers cross.
