Placement Stress.

Never ever, ever did I think it would be this hard to find a voluntary placement somewhere. 

As some of you might already know, I'm studying Level 3 Health and Social Care at college and as part of the course you have 200 compulsory voluntary placement hours to complete to complete the course. 

Now, before joining the course I knew juggling work, personal and college would be hard, but I didn't know it would be this hard. Especially with the added stress of trying to find a placement. 

Maybe I'm being very stubborn about it, but I really, really want to do my placement in a hospital. Because from college, I want to go to University and learn to become a midwife. I've tried literally all I can to get in to the hospitals in Sheffield and sadly I've had no luck with it at all. It's really starting to get me down now and make me think to myself 

"why am I even bothering with this?" It's like I'm on a treadmill running, but never getting anywhere. 

It's not only a placement in hospitals that I'm struggling with finding a placement in general. 

I thought it would be fairly easy but it's actually not. I'm finding it really hard to try and find one. 

I've got people at work that are trying to help me too through the people they know and recommendation's of places.

Hopefully I'll get somewhere soon! I need to, starting to panic about how I'm going to fit the 100 hours in from now until May! 

Thank you for reading :)
