Bad placement

Thank you for commenting, I’m so sorry you went through that. It’s so hard not to dread going back tomorrow, I’ve had a week off due to stuff going on at home and I don’t wanna go back. It’s because of them I have to loose two weeks of my summer to get my epad done. Just feel defeated to be honest.

completely understandable love, you're allowed to dread it and feel defeated - Isometimes i feel like placements do it on purpose tbh! do you have a bit of time left, then a small break and go back for 2 weeks or are you doing your 2 weeks now? and could your tutor at uni provide any support whether that's a chat about how it's making you feel/stuff going on at home, or student wellbeing?

i finished my placement a few days ago, on my last week they told me they had issues with my attitude and professionalism and were going to fail me for the placement, so in a similar position to you. i had no idea of these issues as i'd only gotten praise and stuff from everyone there so it was a big shock. i spoke to the nurse who told me about these and she told me 'nursing isn't for everyone', so i completely understand the wanting to quit part. i've learn that i need to accept it because i couldn't change their minds no matter how much i disagreed with what was said. my only advice is that you go back and push through as hard as you can until the end, i felt awful having to go back in to finish the last week knowing that i'd failed and just in general hated the feeling of disappointment that entirely consumed me. but PLEASE don't quit, i felt like that too but it only made me more upset about everything and doubt my abilities more. just because one placement isn't doing what they NEED to do (teach you, get you signed off, give you opportunities) doesn't mean that it's your fault or you should quit. i promise there will be better placements for you coming up (and for the both of us hopefully!) and quitting won't be worth it

They absolutely cannot spring something like this on you in your last week without warning. Had they said anything to you beforehand at all or has everything been ok?
