Nursing placement abroad

Heyy everyone! I’m a first -year nursing student at Cardiff and I’m starting to look into POLO placements for this summer. I’d love to hear about your experiences with polo placements or any websites/resources that helped you find opportunities. I’m hoping to find somewhere that offers great weather, plenty of activities, and is enjoyable to travel to, but also provides a unique clinical experience that I wouldn’t be able to get elsewhere. Ideally, I’m looking for a place where I can be very hands-on with my learning. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hi Grace,

So good you want to do a placement, its a great opportunity. I've seen one of our students, Jasmine, has done a short video sharing her experience doing a Nursing POLO in Sri Lanka, here's the link! Also this page has links to more Cardiff Uni students in healthcare sharing their experiences going abroad on placements.
(And as you know, the student futures team and your personal tutor might have some good insights too for you).

Hope this is helpful, and best of luck!
