Almost in my 4th year of nursing and I still REFUSE to be tough on the new ones. No matter how busy I am or not in the mood to precept that day, it's always important to remember that I was also scared and "helpless". It's all about empathy!
As a nursing student, I appreciate this. Thank you.
Thank you 😭😭
🙏🙏🙏
Exactly Natalie👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💪🏾
On behalf of all nursing students, we appreciate you and we love you 🙏🏼😭
My preceptor was impatient, condescending and would bad mouth me to the other nurses Bc I didn’t know how to do certain skills she never taught me how to do. She rolled her eyes, snatched things out of my hands Bc she was too
Impatient. I fought back tears at work and cried at home not bc of the workload (which was rough), but from the bullying. They did this to another new nurse and she eventually quit bc she couldn’t handle the bullying. I knew what they were saying about me behind my back, but i refused to let them win. When new nurses came after me, I was patient, kind and made sure they knew they could come to me if they needed anything. Those early days of nursing were traumatizing to say the least. I’m a nurse practitioner now and my heart goes out to new nurses. I hope they have a kinder start than many of us did.
Honestly your experience is shared by most of us, I think. I keep saying my next career is going to be real estate.
@@susandunn7207 🥺🥺 it’s such a shame
Report her! That is abuse and bullying and harassment. You do not need to tolerate that especially when the nursing field is so short staffed!
@@No_nosay I think as a new grad, you ironically don’t advocate for yourself in the beginning. It’s ok. I left floor nursing a few years ago and have moved on :)
Sorry SSk. You know what. You’ll always remember what it is not to do to other Nurses. We have all had that experience. So just be committed to how you know you will not treat another new Nurse.
As a graduate nurse, my preceptor was the tough/impatient/micromanaging/passive-aggressive type. It wasn't until halfway through hell that I found out I could fire them and request another preceptor. Remember, this is your education; don't let anyone stand in your way.
I've never heard of that
Damn am I glad to hear I am not alone.. I'm still debating leaving my floor😒
You damn right you can !!!
I tried and got written up for being difficult.
It so much better after you become an RN I’m so glad I got through those preceptors
I have always been a motivational preceptor to students. These students are so nervous and I try to offer them support.
love that!
I love preceptors like you! So far for all my placements, I’ve had supportive preceptors phew! One more semester to go 🙌🏽🥰
This video MUST shown at hospitals’ preceptors who are signed with New grad Residency programs nurses . It may show them what is ok what is not !
SERIOUSLY. I'm a new nurse and these more accurately reflect my preceptors on orientation than my clinical mentors at school 😂
@@chronicallyalexis omg exactly ! I am one of those lucky new nurses who ended up with good preceptors but I know that there are many new nurses really struggling with not supportive preceptors and it can be really a career ending situation for many new nurses .
Wow
I had the worst preceptor ever when I worked in an ER . I barely lasted 2 months due to the bullying, not teaching me skills and lying about me to management. I was basically just used to insert ivs the whole time. I had to basically keep personal notes to protect myself from her lies. It's frustrating when you want to learn but you're abandoned for most of the shift. Absolute nightmare that place was.
A year later , I went to a new hospital and had the best preceptor to ever exist. She was kind, compassionate, patient and thoughtful. She even took the time to pray for me in the med room when it was a difficult shift. It was so refreshing to see that great preceptors do exist.
Now when I precept and train new nurses, I make sure they can come to me for absolutely anything. Even if I'm drowning in my own assignment, I'll still make time to help.
I had a preceptor like yours in the ER. She actually got me fired after 7 weeks of orientation with her lies to management. The next hospital gave me much better preceptors and orientation in general, and I'm still there 5.5 years later.
I had the hot mess, but she was such a role model for me in lots of ways - so compassionate and genuinely went out of her way to make bedside everything to the patients
Definitely easy going motivational and very protective of my new nurses. I’ve precepted for over 25 years. My job is to make them good nurses and team players… makes it easier on me😂
Work smarter not harder 🤣
I remember being in nursing school and mainly got
1. Don't care what you do, just do whatever but if you talk to me I'll seem mildy annoyed while acting nice.
2. The impatient one and then ignores you for the rest of your 8 hrs you're there, and only speaking to me once throughout the shift without me initiating a conversation.
3. Super nice one that you can tell who actually cares about their pt and take the time of their day to teach you and make sure that you know this is a learning opportunity
I know some other people in my class got nurses who literally rolled their eyes/sigh when they learned they were getting a student.
Now that I work as a RN, idk how those RNs continue to work while hating their fucking job that much. I can't imagine treating a student or a new nurse like that
Lol your number 2 is right on money on the one i recently had 😂 i agree these people should just fuck off instead of making the place miserable to work for others.
I am sooo lucky i got the easy going one,she was soo patient,kind and understanding...sometimes i call her,just randomly and thank her...Thank you for being kind to me,and protective and always ready to explain to me in a humble way....I always remember her kindness,i hope one day il be able to do the same to another new nurse
To all the preceptors that are mean: do you like getting called every day that you are off by management begging you to come in? No? Then be nice, so that new nurses don't quit. Even more experienced nurses don't want to work around/with negative, angry, holier than thou people. I know that I don't.
Yes!!! 🙌🙌🙌 I just dont get it! New nurses mean more staff; why would they try and run them off!?
Seriously. There is no I in team. There is in motivate however, so you have to figure out how to be on your patients' team.
Seriously ..I just graduated in June and there was this nurse who was a passive aggressive #$%^^@ with occasional glimmers of friendliness.. she actually, one time, explaining something to me that was like.. light dawns! But then retreated back into her mood.. it's sad, she knows what she's doing as a nurse, she could be a wonderful preceptor because of that.. but the standoffishness is too much of an obstacle for her to be a great preceptor
@@a.m.9474Definitely socially challenged. Bet she was single…😏
I was not a nurse but I WAS a CNA for 16 years. I had every kind of preceptor shown on here. The impatient one, the micromanager and the tough one all gave me anxiety attacks. Blake these videos are awesome!-
The fact that these “personalities” appear to be so universal shows that whichever one you experience as a nursing student - it’s not really about you. People just are who they are.
I love students and never, ever tried to intimidate, humiliate or make them feel stupid. I am still friends on FB with some of the students (and new nurses) who passed my way. It has been 25 years with some of them. I so enjoy seeing them become such wonderful nurses, wives and mothers.
any male students?
Stress pee, stress eat, stress pace, stress cry, stress yell, stress hide….those are sacred student rite of passages. Tread carefully. 🤪🤣
I remember those days. Don't forget, stress and hair loss.🤣🤣🤣
@@queentinadoire6931 😓😓
I stressed peed my first week at clinical 😭😭 I pretended to spill “water” on myself
I’m so the protective type. But I’m stealth about it. Don’t you mess with my ducklings lol.
This could not come at a better time, literally doing my preceptorship rn and this is SOOOOO relevant!!!
Me too 😂 so funny and so true
The Easy Going One is always the one I learn the most from. If I need help they're there, if I'm confident and flying on my own, they step back and check in. The perfect level of hands on.
Lord just give me the easy going and motivation and protective one please!
🙏🏾🙏🏾
He will. Good luck with your studies. You can do this!!!💐💐💐
@@queentinadoire6931 thank you so much!
When I was a student nurse, I had a preceptor who made me feel so stupid and incompetent that I thought I was going to fail. It was mainly because I could only handle four or five patients total when this other student on the same floor was handling eight patients. My preceptor kept bringing it up again and again until when my nursing professor came to talk with me in private(to check on me, she was nice) that I literally cried! My professor re-assured me that I was fine and to be patient with myself. I never forgot how that made me feel and I never will do that to ANYONE. Now I've been a nurse over sixteen years! When I precept any nurse I am supportive, protective, and understanding because nursing is hard enough! Good luck and hang in there! ; ) 💕
@@ngo7156 I am so sorry that that happened to you and thank you so much just for sharing your experience and thank you so much for your well wishes I truly appreciate it and I'm so glad that you hung in there and became an amazing nurse!
I’m in my 2nd sem and the nurse I was following was so sweet she let me do everything that I was signed off for. She was tired and came in late to work so I felt bad but she never rushed me or made me feel incompetent. I’m the type that’s not comfortable until I do something a couple times over. She motivated me and it felt so good to know that someone was on my side.
I definitely got a combination of the impatient and what I'd like to call the Houdini one as my preceptor because of how often she pulls the disappearing act on me, not being able to find her to get her to supervise me for certain procedures that required it always sent me panicking especially in the beginning lol
Oh my gad mine too 😂 she would be around until 0845 then disappear somewhere during med pass. I would look for her everywhere and ask everyone if they’ve seen her, I ended up getting late passing meds cuz I couldn’t pass some of them without her then she comes back 10am gets mad that I’m still not done with all the charting and am med pass 😂😂😭
@@FluffyMuffs lol completely relatable, it sucks, but let your preceptor know you really need her to be present, if she's still not receptive, then the last resort would be to discuss it with your clinical instructor from school and see if it's possible to mediate or change a preceptor. Whatever it is, hang in there!
“You don’t study much do you” I felt victimized at that one hahahaha
I remember my first ED shift as a nursing student….My preceptor handed me an IV kit, said “go stick that patient and come find me when you’re done.” Walked off and I’m left wondering how the &@$” I put an IV in someone. Ah…good times
As a nurse tech, I have definitely shadowed all the easy going people, but as a preceptor myself, I was most definitely the “hot mess” in terms of trying to teach just cuz I threw lots of information around 😂
Thanks to masking at all times, I’ve been able to cry right in front of them without them noticing!! 😂😂
Back in my time they were called a clinical instructor. Mine was as crusty as a loaf of pumpernickel. She hid behind closed curtains and would pop out and “surprise” you 😂
Hilarious! 😂😂😂
Omg 😂😂😂
As if you werent nervous enough.
Boo 👻 hahaha 🤣
The tough one needs to find another job. If u cannot be kind and patient with your coworkers then you NEEDZ TO GO!
Preceptor =mentor
Girllll some preceptor actually asks “ do you need to do a number 1 or number 2”???? What are we 5 years old??🤣🤣🤣 people need to grow up and stop asking intrusive questions. U should ask her if she wipes back to front or front to back !! Lol
I’m crying laughing right now because I currently just got off orientation, so I can absolutely relate to the different type of preceptor personalities 😂😂😂
Me toooo! 😂
Omg yes!!!! Nursing career has all of these personalities. You forgot the gossip one lol
Hahahaha! The part with the syringe had me busting up! Mad skills😂
😂😂 thank you!
🤣 yes! Me too! I sent this to my student because I did that to him! Although I did it with love! I asked him to tell me which one I was 😃 Waiting for his response 😳😂
those easy going ones are LIFE SAVERS when i train someone i definitely lean towards that so they don’t think nursing is scary or super terrifying !!
I had a student a few years ago, that got yelled at by one of my coworkers(at the end of shift, when I had gone to the back room to grab my coat), for a perceived mistake that wasn’t actually a mistake. I found my student in the hallway, crying and upset. I went back in to my unit found that nurse and freaked out on her to the point where the nurse manager had to intervene. Don’t mess with my students. They are my second children. Apparently I am now a Legend in that nursing school.😎
My preceptor would be more easy going (sitting at the nurse's station to let me figure out what works best for me to finish tasks), but still made sure I got things done in time so we could leave on time. She was always close enough to answer any questions I had or show me how to do something. Definitely going to do the same when I start precepting
This made me feel sooo GOOD ! I'm an experienced nurse, but we all still go through this when ever we start orientation on a new job. I've experienced a version of each one of these scenarios. Your humor is so insightful. YOU ARE A BLESSING ! Thank You (:
I am a nursing student now, and watching these things crack me up. I haven’t yet been around any nurses that acted like this but I am sure there are some out there. Thank you to all those nurses that didn’t forget they were nursing students once before. I appreciate y’all for being calm and understanding.
Two more 13.5 hours days left until this hell is done with.
It's gotten worse. Im 4th semester, about to graduate, and its our 1st time on the floor. Nurses forget that, right we are 4th semester, but zero hands on experience since Covid.
I've never experienced the last type of preceptor/RN I shadowed. We are never defended. We are always bullied and abused, usually by our clinical professors. There is nothing students can do and they know it. If we complain, they will make our crazy and extremely stressful lives even worse( if thats even possible idk) I can't wait to pass the nclex. When the time comes, I will treat my student the way I wish I was treated.
i had preceptors make me cry, and they made me hate nursing school, i wondered why i was even doing it. but i stuck it out.
I feel like half of those people would make me cry. Starting nursing school in January. Clearly this is going to be fun.
Good luck! You will be fine. 👍
Oh sweetie good luck! Be prepared for tears and constant second guessing but know that after the first year it gets better!
I am graduating in 50 days (not like I'm counting or anything lol). There have been good days when I was on top of the world and bad days where I cried my eyes out, but I have learned so much about myself through every experience. Rooting for you, you got this!!!
I'm really lucky that all my preceptor (4 of them) during my internship are extremely supportive and are willing to take time to teach me things properly. Because of covid causing the lack of in person clinicals, my skills are so so lacking on the floor but patience and willingness to demonstrate is so important to the current new nurses.
Pray that this keeps going.
I’ll take anyone BUT the tough & passive aggressive ones 😩i think I can work with an impatient one🙄😂. Hoping I get the protective, easy going and/or motivational one🙏🏽🤞🏽!
I think I’m combo easy-going and motivational. LMAO. They must see me coming! I had a really tough, micromanaging preceptor and never felt like I was doing ok and swore I would NEVER do that to anyone.
I was always nice to the students. I enjoyed teaching them and watching them succeed
You’re absolutely amazing for sharing your nursing experience with all the different preceptors! Thank you
Just finished with my preceptor 😂 I feel like I’ve seen all of these. Mine was definitely the impatient one, super nice but, that was him to a T. Made it more stressful but, he sure did teach me how to speed tf up. No time to dilly dally
It’s important to note that he was super supportive and I knew that he cared regardless of how impatient he was. So still a good experience
I'm a second year nursing student from India, and I really wish my hospital had a better preceptor-student relationship. Some of the nurses barely acknowledge the fact that they have to be preceptors for us. We just cluelessly stand there. Although, the ward that I'm posted in now, has some of the most amazing nurses who always make us do work and teach us if we don't know. Thank you for making this video! I'd like to study abroad sometime soon xx
I'm a mix of protective, motivational and easy going. Students also teach me new things all the time! It's great! :)
I always loved the hot mess ones! I learn so much under an easy going preceptor who seems chill but doesn’t stress you out and gives you room to learn and grow! Learning under Stress will make you mess up easily!!
❤️❤️ Nurse Blake. Always has me laughing! Skits always on point.
how about the one that always needs just 1 minute of your help and then their patient has had the code brown from hell and you lose half your morning haha
"Before we do get started, which I've already been started" ....I'm dead!!
Your skin looks amazing!
Love this!!! Nurse Blake is so awesome.
I’m definitely the hot mess one 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
Same lol
I was always the hot mess when I worked med surg. But somehow the patients were always well taken care of.
🤣🤣🤣
12 years as a nurse. I love paying it forward to the newbies and let's be honest we need them. Every job I've ever had has been short staffed. I'm 1/3 hot mess, 1/3 motivational, 1/3 protective.
Glad to see you're back and with a funny video, too. Thanks.
I'm definitely a combination of Easy Going and Motivational. Nursing is rough, I'm definitely not going to make it rougher than it has to be.
Well done mate. This video needs to be shown to all nursing preceptors. I was today old when I found out you have a UA-cam channel. You are a fantastic resource. The first video I ever saw of yours made me laugh for two days straight. Your timing and facial expressions are epic. One day you will be in movies 🎥
I love your videos! Can you please do a video on doctor/nurse interactions ? I'm a resident and I always wonder what nurses think our lives are like. I think there is a lot we can do to better understand each other.
I am a combination of the easy-going, motivational, and protective one. I remember having a hard time in nursing school because of impatient and disgruntled preceptors. To this day I've kept my promise to be a supportive preceptor whenever I get the opportunity to have nursing students.
Love love love the easy going nurses 😂
That flush trick though!!!
Thanks so much for posting these videos. They resonate so much with vet techs (animal nurses). 😸❤️
The prankster 😂😂😂
I start precepting in January! hoping for an easy going/motivational preceptor 😓
Love the prankster,could not help it..soo easy...used to check defib and scream at same time,ha ha ha,love it.
i love the protective one 😂😂
Lmao! This video is so funny and I never heard of the prankster....but that segment gave me some ideas for my students. Great video!
Omg the impatient one gave me flashbacks 😅
Love these videos!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!! I am cracking up!!!!! I really need a laugh right now in my last semester of ATI hell!
I love this guy...he is so cool...am proud of Sir.
My preceptor is easy going with a shot of micromanaging, but it's that she had a flow and she was encouraging me to develop that before I go on my own in the fast paced ICU. She's great, she doesn't say too much, but having such a calm preceptor in the already stressful ICU is like a breath of fresh air and I get to focus enough without all the added stress to actually finish on time and not forget what I need to do.
It’s a joy to watch you! You are so funny:)
considering the fact that I'm a level 2 nursing student and I have never been on duty because of COVID, id' probably be one of the HOT MESS...
I lucked out, I got a mix of easygoing and motivational. Seriously an angel 💗😂
Starting my externship pretty soon and im excited! Hopefully i get one of the nice ones 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Hahahahaah! I'm literally in the middle of my clinical (I believe that's what it's called in English) and so far I've had all of these as preceptors! A few days ago one of the patients threw a walker at me and I swear I thought my preceptor was gonna fight her then and there😂😂
So true. I've precepted many nurses and nursing students and they all come out amazing! I'm easy going and motivational. I want to help mode and train nurses to be their absolute best.
I’m the motivational preceptor meets impatient if/when we get slammed 🤣
You are so fumny and a good actor !
I work in healthcare and we have students all the time. I can totally see myself in some of those impressions LOL love it!
“You stress peed?” 🤣😂🤣
Finally made it to nursing school and these videos are keeping me sane.
I think there is a little bit of all of them in every nurse preceptor I have ever had lol
The fact that it’s so accurate ❤️
Love your videos!!!!!
LMAOO I cannot with this!!! 🤣😂😂 I have a preceptor right now and I’m getting sooooo annoyed bc they’re type 1. Thank you for this! Made me feel sooo much better 🤣🤣
It’s not just nurses it’s every profession!😂😂 I’ve seen this in the training room as an athletic trainer. This guy is so good!
I love this!!!
OMG Mr. Blake I am a nursing student you just described my whole life right now lol. Every week its a diff type of nurse. We should call you Dr. Blake you be knowing all the things.
The prankster 😭😭😭😭
The impatient nurse popping the flush out of the wrapper got me 😆
Oh my God the protective one at the end killed me! 🤣
Man this is so damn true!
Please keep up the hilarious videos!
You are so right!
A good preceptor/mentor is all of that at different moments.
I'm a recent graduate a PSW (Personal Support Worker) program and got to say, met a lot of these types for preceptors. I personally think a mix the tough one and the easy going one is the best to learn from, a kind of person who is going to push you but also be support and nice about it
Omg, these are the best. Ive seen all of these in my ED over past 12 years in tbe ED . LOL
You are on point!!!🤣
