Precepting
Anyone else a preceptor? Do you like it? Why or why not?
I usually have a student with me or I am orienting someone at my work. I've not had anyone for a couple weeks now, but then yesterday I got a call from a student and I am back at it on Thursday. It's funny because one of my supervisors made me an ambassador to a new employee (which means I just take them to lunch a few times and be really nice to them) and told me she was going to give me a break on precepting since I have had one person or another straight practically for the last 6 months, lol. I don't think she even thought about how I might get a student and not a new employee or transfer. I don't mind at all though. I enjoy having someone to teach. Yes, when it's busy it's more work at first to teach them how things are done, but, man, once you do life gets much better. It's nice having an extra set of hands, lol. And it fulfills my underlying desire to teach. I always said I was going to be a teacher when I was growing up.
