Day/night shift placement with small kids

I imagine you would need to arrange childcare...I think I read somewhere that a resident doctor who left their young children overnight on night shifts was given a warning by the GMC over it or something, and it may have involved social services. So definitely something you need to investigate.
Note that even after the degree it's likely you may need to work long shifts and night shifts as a nurse or midwife (assuming that is what you will be studying based on posting in the nursing and midwifery forum) so this is probably a broader life factor you need to consider for your career.
I'm guessing your main options will be a live-in nanny or having them stay with family e.g. their grandparents or something, until they are older, although I don't work night shifts (anymore) and don't have children so that's just a guess! For day time stuff there might be daycare options available?

Hi there, my name is Han, and I am a current 2nd-year Year Undergraduate Mental Health Nursing Student. Here at Wrexham University, our Master's degrees and Undergraduate degrees are run pretty similarly. Here is a run-down of my typical week on placement/academically as an undergrad:
A typical placement week:
Monday: 12 hour shift 7.30am - 8pm
Tuesday: 12 hour shift 7.30am - 8pm
Wednesday: 12 hour shift 7.30am - 8pm
Thursday: Day off
Friday: Day off
Saturday: 6 hour shift 7.30am - 2pm
Sunday: Day off
A typical academic lecture week:
Monday: Self-directed study day
Tuesday: Face-to-face lectures (9.30am - 3.30pm)
Wednesday: Online lectures (9.30am - 3.30pm)
Thursday: Face-to-face lectures (9.30am - 3.30pm)
Friday: Self-directed study day
Hope this helps and gives you an idea of the timings of days for both academic and placement. I know many students who also have children, and as much as this does create an extra 'barrier' within their studies, there is support to help them.
Here at Wrexham, we have a hybrid timetable which allows you to be much more flexible with time management.
Our timetables are created in advance to allow you time to make arrangements prior.With placements, staff will be more than understanding of the childcare needs, and with clear communication, I am sure that it would be more than possible to be more flexible.
Hope this helps and good luck,
