How long are your placements? How long in each area and do you think it is long enough?
I have had one week in maternity day care, 4 weeks labour ward and then 2 weeks antenatal / postnatal ward.
I have found that on the short placements, there is barely time to know where everything is kept and how they like things to be done before you are off to the next place. Even the four weeks on labour ward have been too short, but thats all I get.
Do you keep the same mentor for all placements, or do you have a different mentor for each area? I have had two mentors so far, one in community and one on labour ward, but in the other areas I just work with whoever I am put with for the shift.
