Hey there in a few weeks we have to tell our school where we want to go for a week of work experience. I am currently interested in been a nurse, and was wondering does anyone no any places other than a hospital would be a useful place to go. I was thinking maybe a special needs school or a YMCA or something, any ideas?

Thanks :)

Generally there are quite a few places you can go.

Within the hospitals there are usually quite a few different departments you could go for work experience.

Special needs schools are possibilities.

You could always go to a disabled centre if this area interests you.

You could sit in with a school nurse, practise nurse, hospice or even at any care homes in your area.

You won't get any hands on work really due to laws/restrictions etc but you will get a good feel for the area you go to.

I had work experience in a care home, in a maternity ward and on a regular hospital ward (where i now work).

It is really helpful if you are unsure of any aspects of nursing also nurses will be really happy to help you out with any questions.

Good luck! x

I'm a student nurse now, when I was at school I did my work experience in a care home for elderly people. Once it finished they gave me a Saturday job too.
