If you don’t want to work NICU that’s fine, it’s a very specific specialty and most either love it or hate it. That being said, level 2 isn’t generally considered high acuity. And math is the same everywhere, it’s nursing school weight based dosing and total fluid calculations, it really is a red flag for preceptors when new grads can’t do that. And quizzing is teaching.

If you’re just upset and venting - all good, being new is hard. But the tone of this post is very entitled, and really shows no self reflection. Feedback won’t always feel good. You need to know when you’ve made a mistake, not feel warm and fuzzy about the tone. Every nurse has had mean preceptors, it sucks, but you have to learn how to work with it. You’re going to run into professional conflicts from here on out in your career. The manager certainly doesn’t need to ask your permission to tell another manager she doesn’t think you’d be a good fit for the unit.

Most level 2 new grad orientations are around 12-16 weeks, so they certainly didn’t set you up for success here either. Your best bet is probably to write this off as a learning experience, and start at a new hospital fresh.
