Should I travel to another city just for hospital work experience?its expensive..

So i want to apply for medicine & so far i have 3 work experience placements confirmed. One in my hometown and another very close to my hometown.
I've just recieved news that i have been accepted into a hospital placement at Warwickshire which is a 2-3 hour journey from home , (Nottingham) for 3 days in the Cardiology Department . The train tickets as well as booking a hotel to stay at for 3 days(2 nights), the estimate costs are £150 total.
Is this worth it just for a work experience?
i have read that its all about the quality of work experiences not quantity- so what do you guys think?

also my parents arent that rich...

What are your two more local placements? If they're also in hospital then I wouldn't bother with another.

What are your other two experiences?
Where are they? Are they hospital based?
My work experience was based in one ward in a hospital and then talked about volunteering. It is quality over quantity. If you think you'll have enough to talk about from your other two then why go to a third

One placement in Digestive Diseases & Thoriacs and another at KIDS & NTS in Birmingham, which involves tranferring children who are critically ill to different hospitals as well as observing phone call conversations for further medical advice

If you cant take it up then why apply in the first place?
Can you get a job in the summer to pay off?
What about B&B? Any cheaper?
Coach journey?

Considering the quality of the experience then I would go as it stands out a bit and you can use it to discuss in an interview plus it shows determination.

If you cant afford it then try for something closer to home. See what @ecolier @nexttime think.

I suggest if you can then look for some work experience within your local area/ city if there isn't anything available then look for something in nearby cities and it's not all about the quality or quantity; it's about the skills u acquire from doing the work experience and how you can then transfer and use these in the future (plus the longer the work experience is the more skills and knowledge u are likely to learn and gain). As for the financial aspect aim to keep spending on a low if possible and I guess u can make up again in the future by getting a good job with a good salary so spending a little money now is okay. hope I helped in some way

Cool thanks. I've decided to go by coach definitely as it'll save me a lot of money.
i cant get a job in the summer as no body is accepting me currently.i might try to find a weekend job somewhere..
Also more importantly, in the summer i'm going to be doing a Nuffield STEM project for 35 hours per week as well as prepare for the UCAT so a job would really drain me in the summer.
B&B is slightly cheaper only by a couple of quids

Thank you for the response btw

KIDS / NTS is extremely niche experience for a school student! (I know their service very well). What sorts of things have they said that you can do with them, out of interest? I've never seen school students with them. They're a great team and I'm sure it'll give you some things to reflect on. Remember that this is very far removed from the average doctor's day, even within paediatrics. It would definitely be worth getting some more general experience as well if you can, not necessarily for your application, but for YOU, to get a better understanding of the more usual day to day work as well.

Im glad youve made a decision and got it sorted.
If you want any info on the subject of weekend job, give me a shout. Its definitely worth looking into, and will give you money to help pay for stuff like the work experience.

Hey Emma, thank you very much for your response.
And yes please, may i please have further advice on weekend jobs? I just cant seem to find any...
