Specializes in renal,peritoneal dialysis, medicine.

you can make up hours after you qualify, but they must be traceable through some form of official document, like the transcripts that can be obtained from your university, so be caerful, just going to work somewhere will not be enough, it would be much better to get it done during your training.

good luck

Specializes in RN, BSN, CHDN.

I think midwifery will be more of a problem because some of the midwifery dept are struggling to mentor the midwifery students. I know where I worked they banned generasl student nurses from doing the practical side because they just couldnt manage them anymore. Staffing problems and all that.
