So far I have had 4 weeks community to start, then 2 further weeks community, then one week ante natal clinic and one week post natal ward. My last placement has been 4 weeks on post natal ward again.

I worked with the same mentor on community both times, but on ante natal clinic and post matal ward I have worked with whoever for most of the time. My next placement is 4 weeks on delivery suite.

I think whether it is long enough or not depends how the placement is going to be honest, but that is just my opinion. For me community wasn't long enough as I loved that placement lol.
