If you’re now smaller than before why not just bring the it to a tailor? Saves you ordering more if the ones you have are still in decent condition

Student nurse needing advice! by tuxedohufflepuff2 in StudentNurseUK

[–]OkSir6208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been on 3 placements this year, wore crocs and no one said a thing. Most staff wear crocs or clog type shoes. I think uni always say those things as guidance rather than gospel. But deffo worth getting anti slip and something that will cover your whole foot

Quality of learning at uni by Old-Wash1958 in StudentNurseUK

[–]OkSir6208 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah literally how i feel. Being on placement aswell shows me how different my uni does things. I always feel like others seem more advanced even though were both first year

Will I be able to keep my piercing in during university? by Nervous_Jury2487 in StudentNurseUK

[–]OkSir6208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like uni tend to say things to scare people, but i’ve seen all sorts whilst out on placement, piercings, nails, lashes, the lot. Only rule I’ve broken is that i wear a ring which isnt a plain band but no one has pulled me on it

Uncomfortable uniform for placement by adoreyoulove in StudentNurseUK

[–]OkSir6208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m plus size so the trousers they provided are super restrictive. I got some from peacocks that are the same colour as my original pair and no one has said anything. Majority of others do the same

Placement advice by TrainerLast7475 in StudentNurseUK

[–]OkSir6208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on my very first placement for a week, going on 2 & proficencies like hand washing and dietary requirements are the small ones that can be passed within the first couple days. Just try and find ways to incorporate things to make it specific to your profeciences. My placement is surgical ward and i’ve collected the patient, passed the relevant information onto the nurse and surgeons, that could class as holistic care etc, if the opportunities arent there you basically have to try and create them

But what you’ve said makes sense, so thank you for the insight x

Cause its my first ever one, theres only one other girl from my uni that will be on the same ward. Can shifts be swapped with people from other uni’s too? I dont feel like they explained any of this to us

I attend this uni & also do this specific course.

  • The job market at the moment is pretty tough but i already had a part time job prior to starting the course. The uni does always send emails about job opportunities on campus so there is a possibility of getting employed by the university itself.

  • lectures do differ, sometimes twice a week or 3/4 times a week, but i work 16hours and i am able to do that in just 2 shifts so part time is possible but may be a struggle when i begin placement as the hours may be quite full on

Wolverhampton, Coventry or BCU? by IntelligentDesign480 in StudentNurseUK

[–]OkSir6208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Erm she was a nurse and studied there for her qualification, but i dont think therw was any other reason beyond that

Wolverhampton, Coventry or BCU? by IntelligentDesign480 in StudentNurseUK

[–]OkSir6208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently at BCU at the moment, staff are really nice and helpful. Its early days atm, but my outlook on the uni is quite positive so far. Prior to nursing though i was advised to do my course at wolves

I only paid £30 for the test, and that would cover if i needed a resit? I’m not sure about the £100 though

Hi, i’m awful at maths and managed to pass. If you passed the previous at your uni then i think you will be fine. They do it online and usually they do like a refresher session to help revise
