Preceptor Found!

I have been blessed with an Awesome Preceptor!

S.H. is one of the RN Vice Presidents of our facility and she has agreed to let me follow. Her normal shift starts at 0800 and is scheduled to be over by 1630, however, she is usually done around 2000. I will be following her after my normal day has ended at 1500.

My direct supervisor has agreed to work with us to allow me to attend many of the early morning meetings, then return to the OR and clock in late. I will be able to see how S.H. interacts with the physicians, and the Administration Power Group. S.H. is over many different procedural areas and we will be making rounds to all of those areas.

During the hour I spent with her, she offered so many opportunities that I was fairly dizzy at the prospects. It is normal for her to have 3-4 meetings booked in the same time slot and she gets to a few minutes of each one, unless there is an especially important agenda that she needs to address. In that case, the other meetings are rescheduled and the important need takes precedent.

I'm so very excited about this opportunity. It will be a glimpse behind the scenes at the grease that makes everything work from a top Nurse management position! S.H. is one of 5 VP's in our facility, so her Voice really counts!!
