I have 4 months of experience in a nursing home but that's it. My preceptor is lovely as a person, but not good as a preceptor. There is also another girl being oriented, her preceptor is lovely, i wish I was with her but oh well. I am not even telling my manager about changing a preceptor because besides the one that already has an orientee, i don't honestly see any good one at all so I am afraid I will be switched to a REALLY mean one. The problem with my preceptor is that she is very disorganized, all over the place and panicks for any reason. She makes me nervous. She doesn't teach me anything unless I ask her questions, sometimes I have to ask few times, because she doesn't answer. She doesn't tell me any good words, only what i did wrong (like I need to fix something in my charting, because she thinks patient moves a little bit, not a lot, but i was told MY charting is MY judgment). I dont know what to do but i better stay quiet at least for now. I just started orientation on Oncology unit. I have 4 months of experience in a nursing home but that’s it.

The way they portray Nurse Jackie as a preceptor is my ideal...give me responsibilities, make me part of things, treat me professionally. I haven’t had a good preceptor like the “co-worker” type yet.
