Returning from the Holiday

I returned from my long weekend in Branson to play catch up on everything else. Spent clinical time with my preceptor on Wednesday, July the 8th for 4 hours and again on Friday the 10th for 3 hours. Wednesday was frustrating because my preceptor had a private meeting with her administrator. I spent time with the supervisor on the inpatient unit looking at staffing matrixes and supply inventory. Friday was better. We talked about future development of the second phase of the facility and the staffing recruitment methods for the 48 bed unit involved. Friday was cut an hour short. My preceptor had to leave at 5 pm for an appointment. I need to arrange longer days to get more accomplished in a day.

  1. I have noticed that my preceptor is used to a flexibe irregular schedule and I sometimes put a kink in that. It is a valuable experience but I can tell my presence is slowing her down a bit. I am trying to be helpful, when I can though.

  2. Have you talked to your preceptor and expressed the need to make sure you are getting the most out of this expereince as you can/want. At least you are learning how hectic the schedule of managment can be.
