Everyone is not blessed with the gift of teaching. It takes patience, empathy and compassion. I am glad I came across this piece.

I am in tears as I listen to the other nurse experience. I had a very difficult experience when transitioning from preventive care to acute care. Its like you were in my head. I had such a bad experience that it made me feel awful about myself. Never recognizing that I was good nurse after all. The way I paid it forward was been compassionate with new nurses

I have had absolutely nothing but the worst preceptors for the single reason that I have ADHD. I’m to the point of such frustration that I was beginning to seriously doubt my abilities as a nurse. But what I have actually come to realize that it’s not so much that I am the one who should be doubted, it’s the fact that I have literally never found anyone willing to teach me. I just need one chance! So I’m submitting a letter of accommodation request up front from my future employer to get me additional training time that I will need to be able to get up to speed as it takes me ever so much longer to learn than most people. I think working with in my own limitations is the only way that this will being a floor nurse will ever work for me. If not I either end up getting let go or I have to quit the job because I don’t learn fast enough. That’s seriously discrimination! I agree we need good

Love love love this!! I’m a new RN and I’m changing from being a LPN from LTC and I’m so glad I stumbled across this video. I don’t know want to go into the hospital looking like a “know it all” or a ding dong. lol! But this video helped me put into perspective of how I need to conduct myself around a person that ultimately can make or break me! Thank you ladies so much! Awesome 🎉

@33:00 this part is so true and what sets real teachers appart. Teachers enjoy seeing all learn and its never a burden.

Thanks so much...I ama second career nurse just graduated in my late 40s and got my License at 50...I am in pretty good shape and super hard working but I have the oppositeproblem: now I am super scared and I was just hired in critical care and will be starting my orientation in 2 weeks. I hope I can do it

Was LPN 15yr RN for 2. New to hospital. My preceptor gave me all 7 patients and said I want you to know how it feels when you get on the floor. I didn't get any real training. Then she went and did who knows what. I've been in tears every day I work. Noone is friendly. I signed a 2yr contract and am devastated. Miss LTC. I am so lost with no help.

I received one good preceptor so far. He even adjusted his schedule to mines and asked me to do concept maps. I’ve also had bad preceptors who were not motivated, had a negative tone about almost everything I did, impatient, and concerned about preceptor pay.

I agree 100% preceptor can make the future of preceptee

So my mother is an rt and became a traveling employee right before covid. I'm on your channel because I've been considering finishing my degree and going into the health profession. I recently just stepped down from being a team lead at walmart. I enjoyed my role very much because training associates and changing the atmosphere from the ground is an amazing experience. The role is not rewarded nearly enough to do it this way though

I'm coming to the end of orientation and have had great preceptors. I like that I get to work with different preceptors (four so far). Although, it does get a bit confusing (maybe a little irritating) when they all have a certain way of doing something and will correct me as if I've done it wrong. Overall, I'm really happy with the experience! 🙂

[zenbank]

Love how they compliment each other and the transparency they bring 🤍🤍

[fthwyim]

This hits home. Thank you both for sharing your journey. 😊

[sandradelgadillo]

We are social beings & naturally want to create of some type of a community. It's a survival thing and also emotionally comforting. I don't know why would anybody want to bully another nurse or give them a hard time. Didn't they come in to the field of Nursing to CARE for another being? How hard is that to apply that to your colleague as well?

[hefzi-baguzman]

I really enjoyed listening to this discussion. Thank you for talking about this important issues.

[startel]

I really do find your channel here to be an absolute goldmine as an aussie soon-to-be-grad, but I was just wondering what the song is at the end? lol

My orientation was a sucky experience, especially when I requested to be transferred to my preferred unit. The first one had no time to really train me properly, I had to be on top of her to help me. The second one was really mean to me. If I asked her a question she would ask me back my question with an attitude.

[godsaveyourpeope]

Wish I watched this before it went down the pit. New grad and my manager wants me gone because i’m too slow with med pass. Preceptor does things against the book, lied to my face and stabbed me in the back. The other nurses are so mean, a lot of hate and bullying. 200k in student loans becoming a nurse was a terrible disgusting awful decision, I feel like hopping a spaceship to another planet.

[redcapote]

Sigh. Just becoming a nurse is mental abuse. There absolutely ought to be more emphasis and standards on our healthcare staff and their ability to be kind, be a good communicator, be invested in your success, rather than be free to be a f'ing asshole. My preceptor in nursing school ruined my ability to be hired onto the unit that had been ready to hire me for months. Ruined my interest in working for that hospital system after they made up crap about me and all the higher ups believed it and treated me like I was the problem. When it was my preceptor and her stupid CNA friends who acted like complete assholes towards me. What a shitshow. Makes me angry all over again. I can't even listen to these things without my frustration about nursing rising to the surface.

My preceptor was great!!! She even let me miss days😮
