She has the personality like Rosanne Barr, except no jokes, just complaints about everthing. I feel I am being shorted b/c the first two days I got excellent training with two different patient people. Today my preceptor was just unpatient, left me on my own, and expected me to do things that I only saw once. I am suppose to have 6 weeks of trainging and its only been 3 days. The preceptor makes it a point to announce to others that another new co-workers needs no oreintation and she gloats about how well she has caught on making me feel like an idiot. Another co-worker saw my fustration and asked how things were going I told her about the preceptor and she told my director who then told the horrible preceptor about her teaching skills. I have since been placed w/ a decent preceptor but now the old preceptor has me doing all the **** work while she does nothing. I work in healthcare so we work as a team and I cannot avoid her. How can I do my work w/o her involvement of supervising me.

I too just started a new job and I know how it can be when working with a preceptor that really has become burned out and cold. I think you need to just do your job and interact with her as little as possible. It always amazes me how soon some nurses forget where they came from and how they too were once a newbie and needed support and patience. I had a terrible orientation recently and I could have really made a fuss and been within my rights to do so...they put me on my own within a week on a busy medsurg-oncology unit and I even had some of them say"oh you'll be fine, you've been a nurse for a few years so we have confidence in you". Yes I have been a nurse for 6 years, but each job has it's own policies and procedures not to mention they have a paperless system and everything centers around the use of the computer. I have been there a month and a half now and I am proud I stuck it out and didn't let the unthoughtfulness of some drive me away. I prayed and God guided me through it all. They kept saying I seemed so calm. It was the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. I will keep you in my prayers and just hang in there. Good luck in your profession .
