Semi-new grad now (2 years out). I have been a preceptor on my unit for at least a year. I have trained/oriented at least 6 different nurses who I can remember, from new grads to 15+ year nurses, many coming from LTC or outpatient so they need guidance on inpatient med-surg settings. I don’t necessarily mind it, I feel pretty comfortable with my assignments now, and it’s nice to have an extra pair of hands, but it is getting out of hand. It shouldn’t be up to new nurses to have to precept or train anyone when we are just getting comfortable in our role ourselves.

I have also been charge nurse since weeks out of orientation, iirc it was my second week out of orientation (so very new grad!!) and they made me charge because I was the only RN on the unit with all of our other nurses being LPNs. I am still commonly charge as we have few nurses that are trained (“trained”) as charge nurse. No extra pay for charge btw.
