4 years ago I did my senior practicum on a unit that had never worked with nursing students before. They really had a hard time figuring out what to do with me. They had no idea what to expect from me because of all those preconceived notions about how degree prepared nurses are supposed to be. I had to do a lot of fighting to get the best experience that I could. I am all for preceptorship training ( my present facility offers it on a volunteer basis). This is a good idea, because we all forget where we were at when we were new grads and it's easy to lose patience
