As Yasmin notes, undertaking a placement involves a lot of hard work. Everyone is different, but most students on placement will find it stressful at some point You may be concerned about how your placement is going, whether you are getting on well with your practice educator or whether the service users you are working with will be okay. Don’t worry. Having these, and many other concerns, is usual and to be expected What is important is to find a way of managing the work you have to complete and managing the stress too.
