I pretty much have almost 10 years hospital experience as an xray tech and been exposed in the hospital setting. I was assigned with a preceptor almost the age of my daughter. She has almost a year experience as a RN and she was assigned to precept me. She approaches it like I am a RN student.
I decided to take 2 patients out of the 6 patients that she has so I can learn and figure it out on my own. I told her that I would holler at her in case I get into a pickle. I did my job doing my med pass and I started charting. Then she was running behind and asked me if I can do hers. So since I'm a team player I said OK.
On the next med pass, she went on break and asked me if I can do her med pass again. And I said OK. She hasn't really taught me really quite extra ordinary except the obvious things that I already have learned in RN school. Which makes it redundant to me.
So change of shift came and I asked her if I can do the SBAR to the oncoming RN so I can get the hang of it again. She refused and didn't even give me a chance. And not only that, she kinda embarrassed me in front of the oncoming RN as well. So I completely shut down on her and just didn't acknowledge her when she asked me if I can do a hand off on our computer charting. In other words, I felt I was her secretary.
Am I over reacting to this or is it my feeling that she has no clue how to be a preceptor?Thank y'all for the comments.
