RPN Consolidation final semester with a preceptor

I am a RPN student and was doing my RPN consolidation. The first week my preceptor made a comment that she likes her school better. I was from a different school. I asked to borrow the key for the washroom and she acts like she didn't want to give me the key. I was also was to be oriented to the place, which I wasn't. I had to orient myself to the place, and I still fully didn't know where things were located. She said I will learn as I go along. The preceptor also speaks bad to me. When I ask her something she would answer what. As student, I was not allowed to carry the meds room key so I had to go back and forth to ask for the key and give it back, it was tiring. I ask her to show me how they document in the long term facility, because I was trained in the hospital where I had documentation orientation, they had none. I ask her more than once, she practically said no that they are the same every where. She had 30 something residents, and she was the only nurse. I was given 15 residents total compared to 4 in the hospital. Within the third week she told me that I enter the wrong vitals in the wrong persons file, because they both had the same first name, then she said to me that if I had short term memory and this profession is not for me. I went and double check and I didn't make a mistake and I took the book with me and told her so, and she didn't answer me. They was another incident where I rest the key for the med room on the cart in the room, she came in the room saw this grab the keys off the cart while I was checking meds and said in a rude voice, don't leave the keys there I don't want it to get locked in here. I had been using the keys before she did that. Then she writes me up in midterm how I have no interest in learning, have no clue how to document and how I have no interest in learning how.
