work placement

after being given a placement by the one of the lecturers, which was a disaster. I was upset but I decided to think positive.

I was very disappointed with the meeting; I also knew I would not be able to do the hrs. They wanted me to do from 9.30 to 9 at night on Wednesdays this was just not possible with the distance and not being able to drive.

I had a ring around on the evening to see if I could find another placement I contacted the Carleton care home for emi patients and arranged to go and see them the next day (15^th of oct) from the second I walked through the door I felt like I was going to like it.

The deputy manager took me under her wing and had a read through my booklet to see what I had to do. She said I wouldn’t be left a loan with the residents (i was a little sad as I have done the job as a carer before)

She had experience of looking after students and explained that I would be doing different roles with in the building so I will be shadowing the nurse/carers/management/seccutary

She arranged for me to start on the 27^th of October on a Wednesday, I will be possibly going in now and then to see different times of the day and how it goes.
