Placement Stories
Here you can contribute your stories from Student Placements across the care sectors. If you have a reflective story about your student placement please send this either as an attachment (preferably an editable document) or in the body of an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . We will then get back in touch. For some helpful examples, have a look at the stories we have already received below. For any initial queries, please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or use our contact form.
Allow these stories to stimulate discussion about:
- what makes a ‘good’ learning environment?
- how are different sectors perceived and how may such perceptions influence the way that care is delivered?
- what are the opportunities and benefits of cross-sector working?
1. Student contribution from Lothian
Student Placements - Placement Stories
I have worked in many care homes and was a carer in a home before I went into nursing. I enjoyed the work in care homes and this is what prompted me to go into nursing.

Student Placements - Placement Stories
I am particularly interested in the care of the elderly sector of nursing and my enthusiasm for the job largely comes from working in care homes.
