I hate my job

jackfoodKS SG

Working in a hospital as a staff nurse, as i am a rather new nurse, and i am a slow learner, i was assigned to a preceptor. Preceptor's job (usually Senior staff nurse) is to teach new staff nurses.

I hate my preceptor so much that i am so fear for work everyday because she scolds when a bit of mistakes is being made. She even scolded me in front of my collegues, patients and their relatives. She expected for a new nurse like me to know everything. She wouldn't assist me for i am doing, she only checks my works. Everyday, i had work 1 - 3 hours of overtime because i did not complete when i had to do, of course, my preceptor also need to accompany me for the uncompleted. She scolded, "Did the hospital pay me overtime for teaching you?"

I am now very depressed. I used to laugh alot last time, but not even a single smile from me now. Feels like quiting the job, but i was bonded with the hospital.

VERY VERY SAD>>>!!! ARRRR

What does a preceptor do?

You seem to dilike the preceptor, not the job.

Am I right to say that?

mistyblue SG

Then buck up. She's just training you hard now so that you will be able to survive on your own without people picking up on you. Besides, she had to spend time trailing you and spending the time getting upset with your poor performance.

Imagine if your mistake cost someone their life. Then you might blame your perceptor for not teaching you hard enough.

New at job of course get some shit. You think like school. Mistake get "F" only? If you cannot take this little bit of stress then quit being a nurse. Bond is only money, just pay back mony loh.

Maybe u can talk to someone senior on top regarding this thing?

Making sure u can survive on yr own is one thing. Never teach/guide u and expect u to be top notch is irresponsible in my opinion. I think if u one day cannot take it. U shall fcuk her back. Nurse has no military law or DB. Just told her off, 'U never teach me anything and expect me to know. U think I am god?'

onigiri SG

think on the bright side.
what she's doing is actually for your own good eventually. she can just simply don't care about you instead of accompanying you when you have uncompleted work, scolding you for your mistakes or checking your work.
cheer up, alrights? =)

BrUtUs SG

know how u feel... since u jz started, do your best... treat her scolding as dog barking... most impt is u learn n dun make so many mistakes cos it might cause lives... but u need to talk to her about the OT part cos maybe if she also help u out it might be faster...

Despite how fierce she can be, you don't have to be afraid of her.

The more you are scared of her, the more dominated she can be

You can try to be nicer to her.

Give her a smile everytime you see her. Greet her good morning etc.

Buy her coffee and tea etc.

Think she might be surprised and treat you a little better?

actually the receptor is doing a good job. firstly she sacrificed workign ot with you. secondly by allowing you to do everything by yourself, you get to learn more right? btw do you get ot pay?

hang on in there, don giv up ~~ treat it as a learning opportunity

Melovefireice SG

Why do you hate your job as it is better than dish collecting and washing jobs in kopitiam and cleaner's job and car washing job at petrol station.Those jobs are tedious and low pay.

Normkwok SG

dont hate it. learn to respect it . hang hang chu zhuang yuan. perserval and you will succeed in life

Miss Tiny SG

First step is always the hardest, I can understand how u feel.

Since u are bonded, then no choice but to tell urself u can do it and prove to her ur abilities. Treat her scoldings as a lesson for u to learn ur mistakes, because in hospitals the staff are dealing with life and death, so naturally she'll be alot stricter with u.

After learning the ropes, i'm sure things will be easier for u. Good luck.

Don't be so hard on yourself, you are new. Noboby in this world is borned to be a staff nurse. Learning takes time.

Don't be too concerned about your preceptor points of view. Give yourself time to learn and adapt. Your preceptor is probably trying to pull rank or trying to showoff.

If she continues this way or turn abusive, report her to higher authority - maybe your nursing manager can help?

Remember to smile - don't let what happening around you rob you of your inner strength, inner calm and your self dignity. Their are your priceless assets - remember!

Ferret SG

dont u have a hr dept ?

ask em assign a new perceptor to you loh.

de_middle SG

brace up & u'll get over this in due time. exact senario might happen eleswhere, so no point quitting just because of this.

Say is easy than being done. I see her face, i got that phobia to approach.

You know sometime, i know that i know how to do the correct thing, but with she around, i will just somehow did something wrong. She is like staring at you with one kind, the face is so black, and scold whenever you make one small move. With such a person around, how possible for me to concentrate on my patient. I tend to concentrate more on her face than the patient face.

I am trying hard...
