UofG Nursing Placements

I am going to start UofG for nursing this September so I’m looking a lot into what the actual academic time table for the year but the one thing that I can’t wrap my head around is the placement timetables. I know every placement is different but does anyone have an idea or an actual first hand experience of the placement timetables particularly for UofG?

Hi caits
Your nursing placements under the university of Glasgow? ? ( Guessing it's university of Glasgow you are attending...
Is generally a 12 hours shift if on hospital wards - ( Nightshift, day shift and weekend working) starting around 7/7.30am - 7/7.30pm or 7/7.30pm - 7/7.30am working 3 days with 4 day's off.
Community placements and hospital outpatients department operates between 8am - 6pm Monday to Friday with you having a day off during the week plus free weekend.
You'll not be on placement straight away as you have around 6/7 weeks for example attending university when you'll be taught all your basic skills etc prior to going to placement, you'll know your placement place generally a week or so before you are due to go.
Hope this helps you and good luck 🤞 🤞

how they give a shifts please?One day ,one night or one week (3 days )all days then next week all night ?

Hi
They tend to vary from week to week - you could be working for examples say day shift Saturday. Monday and Nightshift Wednesday, or Saturday, Monday and Tuesday day shift, or possibility three days of dayshift or even Nightshift.... It really depends on how you are rota for shifts patterns as you tend to work same shift as your mentor/ supervisor....
Sometimes you do a Nightshift and then you might not do any more for a month same with weekends as it is unpredictable to say how your shift will be until you actually get your monthly rotas for example.
You can change one shift to something else but then you might not get any more opportunities for a while...
Hope this helps your question.
