Aw hello! Thank you so much. That’s very kind of you!

Hello, and thank you for your question! That’s a specific request ☺️ and in my experience, individual placement expectations can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, such as the area itself, your personal development and progress, and your university curriculum. For that reason, I don’t think it would be fair on you for me to create a video specifically about a second-year, second placement. However, I’d be very happy to help with something more general or discuss a particular area of practice you might be finding more tricky?

@ let’s say the area was an assessment unit …

Oh goodness! Hello you! Lovely to hear from you, and thank you! 🤩

Hello @tashax8841! Thank you for your support, and of course I will get planning. What wonderful news. How are you feeling about being a supervisor and assessor?

Hello @tommardel9792! Well, I really hope you have an awesome time. Surgical wards can be very busy, but an incredible opportunity for learning. You felling ok about it?

Hey! That is amazing. How are you feeling? I am just uploading a new video :)

@TheLondonNurse I'm still in holiday mode definitely need to watch few more videos and a wee bit of prep I'm hoping it's not harder than yr 2, many people have said yr 2 is the hardest. 🫶

@nicod2213 your course is hard so enjoy your downtime and I’m pleased to hear you feel like you’re in holiday mode. Yep, 2nd year is weird! Haha I actually made a video on that …”WHY IS SECOND YEAR NURSING SO DIFFICULT?” 3rd year is and can be enjoyable, if you are kind to yourself and surround yourself with supporting people, friends, and colleagues!

@TheLondonNurse 😄 I'm going to have a look through your videos, thanks so much for the encouraging words 🙏 all the best to you!

Hello! I am so so happy to hear this. How did your first day go? This comment spurred me on to create the video I am just about to upload!

Hello friend. This is so sad to read that you are experiencing this. What I would advise anyone, is to not do something that is making you so unhappy. Life is far too delicate and short. However, you've made it to final year, so clearly you are determined and capable to work through such obstacles which demonstrates that you are not 'stupid or less than others'. You're doing amazingly well to work through such a difficult course, while experiencing such negative things. Have you spoken to staff at the university and in the hospital about your experiences? Regardless of if you decide to leave the course or not, I would urge you to discuss what you are feeling with the people who are responsible for this. I made a video on how to have important conversations that may help you to formulate how you may want to discuss this with this. You have raised very important points of your experiences and we need to learn from them and support you. Please, before you make your final decision, talk to people that need to listen. I'm here for you and rooting for you, whatever you decide and if I can help, please do just shout! Ben

@BenInWales sorry - Ben in Wales is my other account… this is me replying still as the London Nurse ☺️

Hello Andrew. This is so exciting! All the best of luck to you. The first placement is going to be full of mixed emotions for you, but try and keep an open mind and I’m sure you’ll have an amazing time. Is there anything driving the anxiety in particular? The unknown?

Hello! Ah that makes me so happy to hear you’re feeling a bit more confident to start your placement. All the very best of luck to you! Let us know how you get on!

Hello Filiya. I’m so happy to hear the video has been useful/a comfort to you. Are you nearly finishing your nursing studies? I hope you’re being kind to yourself. Ben

Wow!! I’m so happy to hear you’re applying this year. I really wish you all the very best of luck. It’s an amazing career, so I hope you’re looking forward to it. Thank you for the kind words too. I’m really happy to hear this! Thank youx

Hey @nicguthrie5240! That’s so great to hear. I’m pleased they help. I need to get back into creating and your idea is a great one… I’ll get planning a video! 🙏🏻

@@TheLondonNurse i am actually a Nursing lecturer and use some of your videos for the students. We have just started the Simulated learning placement and words of advice would be well received

Hello! Yes they absolutely should discuss this with their university. From what you’ve said that sounds unacceptable. In these situations, it is too easy to give up, but if the student is able to professionally challenge the educator and explain how they are making them feel, the impact they are having on them, and express a way forward, that is the most beneficial way to stay professional and in control. Please pass on my best wishes to the student… Ben

❤ thank you for your support. You are a great educator!

Hello Martin. I definitely will be doing part 2… but wow it’s a tough one to film and edit… so yes I just need to find some time to do it and I’ll get it done! 😂 I’m glad to hear the video was helpful for you Martin! Ben

Hey! Thanks so much - glad you liked it 😎

You are very kind! Thank you so much for your comment. I’m glad you like the channel. For each placement, you are likely to set anywhere between 5-7 objectives, but this can vary depending on the placement and your assessor, and how you are feeling about your own development. Each objective needs to be specific which is why you need so many. Really, the best of luck to you! Let me know how your placement goes! Ben

@@TheLondonNurse thank you

Thanks very much for the information, your videos are messiah. How many objectives 😂 does a first year nursing student need to set for a six weeks placements? Can one or two be okay?

Hello! :) Thanks so much for reaching out, and I am really pleased to know this helped you somewhat. I am afraid not, I have never worked in private hospitals before, other than working in our private healthcare ward in our hospital. Not much was different really, other than the food was better and staff were a little more available as the patient to nurse ratio was lower so we had a little more time. I suppose the important thing to remember is healthcare is healthcare, no matter the surroundings or environment, the fundamentals will remain; you may just have a different experience in time available to provide care, and perhaps the amount of staff around you. I wish you all the best of luck and do come back and update us on how it went! :) Ben

So lovely to hear from you! Enjoy the rest of your studies, and best of luck to you!!

Hello Saoirse! Thanks so much for reaching out about this. Firstly, good on you for taking the time you needed and deserved for your mental health! What a great advocate you are. Well done you!! And it is great to see you are coming back to healthcare 🥰 No one thinks you sound silly; you are being practical, and you have your own personal situation. The benefit to being older when you qualify will stand you in good stead for having more life experience, so that is always very beneficial (nothing can buy that!)... So ok, if this is the case, that you will take 4 years to do your training and financially would struggle, have you thought about the apprentice route? It is called 'Registered Nurse Degree Apprenticeship' and it is a 4 year pathway...benefit: you get paid! You will also be based in a hospital and so get exposed to so much clinical activity that being 27 and worked for the last 4 years in a hospital... everyone will want you! 🤗 Check it out at the bottom of the page here: www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/explore-roles/nursing/how-become-nurse Very happy to chat more if you need to! Love and respect, Ben

You are so welcome! That is wonderful to hear!!

Hello Caris! Thanks so much 🙏🏻🤩

Hello @blessingbrooks2671 👋🏼 thank you so much for sharing that. I’m really pleased to hear this has reduced some of your worries. You are very right though; you are going to be ok 🤩😉

Hello! That sounds very exciting! I would direct you to our Nursing and Midwifery Council website where you should be able to find the process: www.nmc.org.uk/registration/joining-the-register/register-nurse-midwife/trained-outside-uk/ Good luck!!

Hi Chris! That’s so good to hear, I’m very happy to hear you find them helpful. 🤓🤩

Glad it was helpful, Amanda! It is my pleasure.

Hello @reuben3694, even though it sounds like it has been bust for you, I really hope you are enjoying your placement. Yes, the idea of a 4 patient workload was just an example to make the points in the video but the principles remain exactly the same regardless of the patient workload. It is vital while you are learning that the support remains; and while your workload pressure increased, the support should also. I hope you are getting all the support you need and best of luck with your studies!

You’re welcome! I hope it helped somewhat! 🤲🏻

Wow, that is such a lovely comment for you to leave. Thank you! How are your placements going? I am so happy to hear my videos have helped. You are very kind. I wish you all the very best of luck! Ben :)

It is my absolute pleasure to have been able to help you with this!! Great work on doing this! You should be very proud! Ben
