No its difficult isn't it? Our uni is constantly telling us not to work the long shifts, yet when your also in uni (which is always on the day your mentor is working!) and you have loads of homework to do its all quite impossible at times isn't it?
I prefer the long days then I only do 2 and have 2 study days at home and one day in uni. It wrks better for me for childcare in the mornings, otherwise I'd have to beg favours for 4 days instead of 2, or I'd have to do all weekends-which I end up doing quite alot of!!
I have no regrets on doing the course, but when I look at my bank balance, and my house that needs things doing to it, and you aint got the time or money to do it, then yes I get extremely frustrated.
But I'm almost there now, and am looking forward to not studying!! But there again I've just signed up at my local college to do a short mental health course lol, so perhaps I've got the bug, or am a glutton for punishment xx
