Withdrawn from nursing placement

What happens if you are withdrawn from placement by the provider?

I started a development placement, and was absent due to illness for 3 days in the first week, i followed the protocol of informing the provider and Uni of my absence. Then I had an email from my tutor to say the placement provider have withdrawn me from the placement for not meeting this -

"The student maintains an appropriate professional attitude regarding punctuality and communicates appropriately if unable to attend placement."

They are a small service that does not have the capacity to support students who do not commit to the placement through regular attendance, and they are within their right to withdraw from the placement if they experience students failing to meet the professional values expected of them.

What was the reason for withdrawal?

I'm an experienced practice assessor. This doesn't make sense - from what you've said, you are achieving this professional value as you have communicated appropriately when unable to attend. As you've not had 100% perfect attendance, they're trying to find a way to get rid of you, and shirk off dealing with other struggling students on other areas.
Discuss the matter further with your universoty tutor as to what happens from here - you may well need to do another placement to make up for this one.
