    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • My placement was a fantastic learning experience and really allowed me chance to put my theory learning into practice.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Practically everybody at this placement was extremely friendly and welcoming. When I finished, some staff even said that they hadn't realised I was a student.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My first mentor wasn't very helpful and I did have issues. But I discussed this with the placement manager and he took me under his wing and was extremely supportive.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I like being busy so I often looked for extra work, but the placement manager made sure I didn't overwork myself and gave me lots of good advice.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • As a first year student there wasn't a lot I was able to do by myself, but everything that I was capable of completing alone I was encouraged to do so.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Massively. Placement is the best way to put learnt theory into practice and the only way to develop good skills as a nurse.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Very friendly. Relaxed and everybody was kind and approachable.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • My original mentor was on leave when I first started this placement and that did hinder our ability to create a helpful relationship; however everything else ran smoothly.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I was encouraged and helped to organise my attendance to a few extra training opportunities that aren't included as part of my degree.

    4/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 3/5

    • I'm very interested in pursuing my career in this direction.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • I was the only student but I did attend a few social events with the permanent staff.

    3/5

    3/5

    • A few pubs but not much to do.

    2/5
