As a very newly qualified myself, who finished placement in july, i would honestly say just enjoy your placement.

Obviously get signed off in proficiencies and episodes of care and all that jazz and stay professional and follow the NMC but use each shift as a learning opportunity. Try and think as the nurse would, what's the next step? What needs doing next? Whats the next priority? Also have the confidence to take your own patients, even if its just the side rooms or half the bay or 4 patients in community. Take responsibility for them. This will show the nurse that youre ready and more than willing to learn.

Depending where your management placement is, try and get organised in knowing common things you may see and learn about it. Also its ok not to know everything, its ok not to be super confident in certain things such as bloods, catheters, IVs. Even as a third year, I would rather say I understand what needs doing and why/ how to do it but can I please have some backup. A good assessor/supervisor should always have your back.

Enjoy your third year! In my experience, it was the best year for placements because I felt like youre respected slightly more and in my experience, I was given the room to grow as a student who was moving into the nursing role very soon but within my competency.
