how are student nurses treated on placements?

Hi

Just curious as to how student nurses are treated on placements, are the staff helpful and eager to pass on their knowledge or do they see you as 'getting in the way'?

Thanks

The attitude of the ward to students comes from the top down. If the unit manager & associates are enthusiastic, the rest of the staff is. In my unit we always welcome students, they keep us young! (And I am feeling my age!)
