I am just a little over a year of being a staff in our ward and I am really surprised that I am structured to precept a new staff for a day. I think there was a mix up in the scheduling. My headnurse must have overlooked it and she just can’t admit her mistake. I have bypassed three staff nurses and preceptorship is a task not a promotion. This means that like any other trainings, all will be undergo one according to tenure.
I am not a people person that is why I tried my hardest to be a good preceptor. I am strict when it comes to fulfilling tasks and if things do not go my way, I tend to snap. Good thing that I was able to keep my composure. I hope that the new staff was able to peek through my brain and pick all the good stuff.
