Student Nurse Proctor

Hi All, just some advise needed
I was given a 14 week placement to finish my MH nursing course.
At the start of the 14 weeks I found out I’m pregnant. The symptoms really hit me hard in the first ten weeks. I missed a lot of my shifts and had a lot of absences. I’ve been ‘finished’ that placement for a month now.
My problem is due to an act of desperation, I falsified some hour don my timesheet and this was raised with the university and I have now been reported to e university proctor team, and currently 19 weeks pregnant.
I’m ready to take full accountability for my actions but, the deed has already been done. Does anyone have some advise for me or been in a situation with the proctor team?

Congratulations on your pregnancy news.
Unfortunately what tends to happen when a nursing student finds out that they are pregnant during the year the university will obviously be wanting to know all the required information about your pregnancy and when you are due so that they can hopefully arrange things for you for either on placement or attending university studies weeks due to health and safety rules that they have to put into place to support you.
They tend to get you to go on maternity leave around 11 weeks prior to the birth of the baby but as long as everything is going well with this there's nothing to stop you continuing with your degree BUT if they allow you to continue on then what happens is that when you have one day sickness day due to your pregnancy they then tend to put you onto maternity leave automatically after that as they usually have this in writing stating it.
Now you have said that you have had a lot of time off during your placement 😔 😔 😔 which they could have easily said to you " sorry you need to go on maternity leave until you have your baby and you keep in touch with the university throughout" and then discuss a return to start date for when you want to go back to continue with your nursing.
You have done the worst thing possible by falsifying your amount of hours you have done hoping you would get away with it but unfortunately it caught up with you because the places has to notify them that you have done xx hours per week etc throughout the placement.
With you admitting your guilt to them will be recorded but whatever they decide to do with you is going to be up to them.
Hopefully they will take into consideration what you been through and maybe give you one more opportunity to do your nursing degree ( remember that you'll miss some of your course's due to your birth and you usually need to take a minimum of 12 weeks leave after the birth before you can return back to your nursing degree but see what they say about it okay.

Hi 👋 thanks so much for this comment. It really did help me calm my nerves. I just had the meeting with the proctor and everything went well! I did honestly apologized and take accountability which they appreciated.
This will DEFINITELY not be happening again. I’ve learnt from my mistake and deeply regret it.
