Re: 2nd placement second year!
An update last week this week enjoyed the ward staff great, but been unfortunate with mentors,main mentor just didn't seem interested in having a student!
All 3 off for my last 2 weeks...so other brill staff have taken me under their wings and I have learnt loads. 
Can't wait for 3 weeks hols!!!
