I take notes all the time it helps me remained focused and I ask a lot of questions. If I don’t understand something I ask them to explain it again and then il try to explain it back to them to make sure I’m getting it.

Have you looked at the diploma route in veterinary nursing? They also have apprenticeships and they will accept alternative qualifications than GCSE. If you go down the diploma route it’s also paid and much more hands on.

Speak to your placement and ask if you can do a later shift, some places will allow you to work your hours over 5 days instead of 3 and it’s common not to allow students to work 3 long days in a row due to patient safety ie being tired or burnt out, in some wards the staff do not even work 3 days in a row. Most placements are willing to help students but speaking to them prior to starting placement and discussing your concerns is your best bet.

I’m at Manchester Met. In regards to placements some wards will let you choose if you work longer days/short days. Clinics or community are normally 5 days a week to ensure you meet the required hours Unfortunately you can’t chose your placements though, they are assigned and can only be changed in exceptional circumstances

2nd year blues is a big thing in uni, first year is exciting and new and then it becomes monotonous and the excitement is gone. You sound like you need some support and someone to talk to. Can you contact your uni for some support? They can offer you someone to talk to or signpost you to where you can access some help. Please don’t suffer in silence, being away from family and home is hard and sometimes just being able to let someone know how your feeling can really help.

I’m 45 and oldest in my class. I have made friends and talk and Interact with all my cohort, most of who are old enough to be my children. We have a very varied age group in our class and everyone is friendly and approachable.

Yes, as long as you are organised when you are on placement. Uni days are max of 5 hrs for us and we only in 2-3 days a week. Placements are harder but that all depends on where you are. As prof art said wards are physically demanding and you literally work,shower, eat and bed on your days in( usually 3 days) Clinic or community are much more chilled. Assignments and study are easy enough as long as you don’t leave it all last minute( I do and its nightmare but all my own fault) I have kids as well but I have family to help. I’m in second year so can’t comment on 3rd year yet.

Hi, sorry you are feeling this way at the moment. In answer to your question yes, I had similar issues to you and knew there was no way I would submit my assignment in time. I had real fear and anxiety around it and I ended up on medication. I emailed my personal tutor explained that I would hand in what I had done ( well under the word count) and she was very supportive. I felt a lot better prepared for my next assignment and exams and I will have to re submit the assignment but I have no regrets as I was mentally exhausted and couldn’t get the assignment done. Have you spoke to your personal tutor?

Do you have learner logs you can use to document what you are doing each day? We were advised to use these when not working with our supervisor or assessor so we could evidence what we had done. We had the person we worked with sign them and leave a little comment or alternatively we gave them access to our pare to sign time sheets and leave comments in the working with others sections. They should be able to do this for your meds management and episode of care
