So, my thread is not just about me and my hideous experience with my preceptors and the management and my eventual broken hearted fall. No, let it be about you and your cathartic experience ( a learning experience) at a new place of employment and how it might have gone awry and how the markings of it were a dead give away: failure will soon ensue. Or could be about your complete triumph...a success story, a joyful new enterprise. Your work, the ideal of the nursing practice act so to speak... There are two ends to this thread, this beast... So, here it goes...me first ok!
You Know your hospital orientation is finished when...
Your preceptor uses the term "self conscious" to point out something you need to be more conscious of. You take the time to correct her English, knowing that deep down, since her English thus far had been amazingly perfect during orientation she might be grateful for your pointing this out. OOPS! Big mistake. She even says she knows she is correct in its usage and chooses to ignore your statement. OUCH!
God Bless you all...and wish me luck on finding work soon!
