Depends on the supervisor

I have had the unfortunate experience to have to repeat a prac due to being incompetent. I was absolutely devastated to have had to repeat 4 weeks which i could have had off. Having to repeat the placement has made me realise how much it depends on how well you get along with your supervisor. on my initial placement the supervisor was such an intelligent person that the expectation for us to be have that same amount of knowledge. The teaching style was very focused on independent learning and it was expected that your clinical reasoning skills were fine tuned. The on repeating the prac I have found it SO much easier. My supervisor is very open and friendly and completely down to earth. They give you positive feedback constantly rather than the constant negative comments that i was previously receiving. On my initial placement after not having a mid way placement i was told 2 days before finishing that i was to fail. Just the unfairness of it all really made me fume. To think that had i been on another hospital i would have passed instead of having to do back to back placements from Feb to now. Despite the setback I have learnt alot more from the current placement I am at. Its been really helpful learning environment even though my confidence completely dropped after the initial attempt.
