LOL, I got chocolates too, these mentors are very well trained ;-)

What a useful list, thank you! It's nice to hear what's expected of us, other than the academic stuff.

I will attempt to take on board by September.

I am lucky enough to be sat betweent two of my mentors this evening, so I have asked them this questions:

posted on behalf two of my mentors:
a good student is:

someone who listens
shows initiative
willing to learn
someone who loves it!
laughs at mentors jokes!!
willingness to ask questions
asking questions is very important

a bad student is:
someone who does things their own way despite being told the right way
not following instructions given
telling someone the same thing over and over again
someone who doesn't ask questions, they think they know it and don't need to ask

I have been told that I fit into a category all of my own!! (not sure if this is a good thing or not?!)

What a fab thread, I will cut and paste all lists, print out and read every day when on placement, I hope I'll be able to tick all the good student boxes.

Throughout the ages, the rainbow has been the symbol of hope, a promise of better things to come. The ancient Greeks personified the rainbow as the goddess Iris, the favourite handmaiden and messenger of Hera, the queen of the heavenly court of Olympus. Carried by her shimmering wings, Iris travels so swiftly that mortals can see only the trail of her rainbow-coloured passage across the sky.

Anyone else have a view?
