Hi,
I have started placement and 4 weeks in and I dont think I'm enjoying it - however, if I quit now will I have to pay all the tuition fee, bursary and maintenance loan back.
I am so stressed out with it all. I feel so stuck

It's very early days so it is normal to feel stressed on placement.
Where did you get your funding from - SFE, SFW or SAAS? And for bursary do you mean the NHS Wales bursary or the NHS LSF?

I know youll probably hear it so much, but try stick it out.
Is it that particular placement your not enjoying or the course in general? Some placements you will hate and have you questioning your decisions (this may be that placement for you) others you will live and thrive at.
Im about half way through 3rd yeah so have had 5 placements, and 2 i pretty much hated most days, 1 i was genuinly questioning my life choices, the other was bareable cos i was there with a friend. 1 placement i neither liked it nor disliked it it was a meh placement, 1 i really enjoyed and wished it was longer, and the one im at now im really thriving at.
Placements are a bit like marmite, iv been on placements iv hated but others have loved and vice versa.
Id say try finish the year if it purely is this placement making you want to quit, and just count down the days or have something to look forward too.

Sounds like imposter syndrome.
Its your first placement of first year, your gonna get things wrong, i still get things wrong, qualifides still get things wrong. Were human, but its how you learn from them.
I have huge imposter syndrome still, i always think im doing things wrong, im not good enough, ect. But iv learnt to listen to staff who have so much experience saying the opposite.
You can do this, as hard as it may be sometimes try and believe people who are saying your doing really well, as likrly they are probably right

Thank you I've never heard of imposter syndrome before.
I will carry on with the last 2 weeks of placement and just see what they say about me lol I dont feel like I'm very clever in practical situations but academically I'm really good. It may be just that I'm bot feeling confident etc

Yeah imposter syndrome is a real thing, where you feel like an imposter and your not good enough, but usually its your mind not truthful.
You just have to remember its your first placement of first year, your still completely new to both uni and placements, and placements can be real hard, so try not to beat yourself up too much.

Hey.
I completely get how you are feeling. It is tough when you are not enjoying placement. But before making any big decisions, it can be helpful to figure out if it is just this placement thats not working for you or you're unsure about the course as a whole.
I've had placements i loved and others that were a real struggle. There was a 7 week placement that i dreaded at first because i felt like they were being really hard on me. By the 4th week, after proving myself, everything changed. The team started to warm up to me and i started enjoying it. By the end, i was given a little send off and it turned out to be my best placement so far.
If you are struggling, i'd definitely recommend speaking to your assessor or supervisors. They might be able to offer support or even help arrange outreach outside the placement area or alternative placement if needed. Sometimes it is about finding the right environment.
Try taking it one day at a time and remind yourself it's only temporary. You are not alone in this and there's support available to help.

Sorry to hear you’re feeling like this. Maybe talk to your personal tutor. Don't give up it is hard what is it you don't like? Im on second placement but for me it’s my 1st due to DBS not arriving in time. Not every placement will be the same.
