I almost quit because none of my preceptors speak good English and get angry when I don’t do it right after shadowing them. This is the best video I’ve seen!! You’re a great teacher.

@imeboni 11 ай бұрын

Awww thanks. 🙏🏽 I hope you’re able to understand them eventually and their able to slow down to teach! They gotta have patience but if you feel like it ain’t working then request a new preceptor!

@@ThePrettyeyes341 I’m sorry you’re going through this too. It’s unfortunate how nasty people are in healthcare when all we want to do is help patients. I’m planning on leaving nursing all together after I get a few months experience. It’s been a horrible experience for me so I know what you are saying.

I working at davita now and it's not hard ... whats hard is when you have 4 patients and they coming off the machine .. patient one 10:15 .. patient two 10:30 .. patient three 10:45 .. patient four 11:00 and you have have to be fast to take off each patient 15mins apart and fill in snappy software wear ... remove the bloodlines .. clean the machine and reput new bloodlines on AND then connect 4 new patients who waiting ... that's the HARDEST part of this job.

Just started Fresenius 4/1/24 after doing phlebotomy/MA/LCA/EKG. We are rushed as well. Ed isn’t correlating with clinic. No matter how many times we say we feel that way, they throw something else at us and expect us to remember a week later after one try. I’m ready to quit and I’m no quitter.
