Placement hours

If your mentor was on a long day... wouldn't you still be working with them if you chose to do an early instead? You'd just end up doing an extra couple of days with someone else?

Yes, but its hard to get to work with someone else and we have to do so many hours with mentor, and harder again if the week is split between uni and placement. It helps when there is a backup mentor allocated to you to match placement days of course. which didn't happen on my last placement.

On placement we do 30 hours per week.. And then we have a 7.5 hour uni day each week too.. So 37.5 hours per weeks...

We work long days, 7am-7.30pm.. and long nights 7pm-7.30am.. 3 shifts one week, 2 shifts the next.. Usually have 5 week placements so we do 2 weeks of 2 shifts, 2 weeks of 3 shifts, and a week with 2 shifts and a half shift..

I love nights! Days are ok.. But I hate getting up in the morning lol...

No we don't get bank hours if we miss breaks or stay over...

In our first year we have to do 30 hours a week on placement which goes up to 37.5 in 2nd and 3rd year and have 4 days in uni when we're not on placement.
