Wow third degree! Is that because it's taken time before you've realised what you want to do? Or do you just like studying? Lol. That sucks about things being different from the other Uni, hopefully things will get easier for you soon. Luckily I only have one exam, for the anatomy topic, I am hoping on just passing it! Good luck with your exams too! I'm doing my placement in July as a block placement, I'm actually really nervous as I'm direct-entry and this will be my very first time working in a hospital! I just want to get practice at basic things, like taking vital signs, bed-making and blood pressure. Can't wait till 2nd and 3rd yr when all our placements are on the maternal wards! We actually just got told that Women's & Children's hospital are probably going to start hiring 3rd yr midwifery students- experience and pay all at once! Maybe you would be able to do that as well?
