I am a student Nurse, I work many hours for the NHS for free. I missed a placement when my Dad died due to me caring for him. I had to take time off my next placement because looking after people who were dying triggered me massively. I started seeing my dead Dad everywhere. I sought private therapy and worked on myself for a few weeks. I then went on a new placement were I contracted covid and had to take 7 days off to protect my patients on the ward. They could have let me progress to year 3 but they held me back a year just to complete placements again. I Have lost all of my hours I accrued and skills I got signed off. I pay £9000 a year just in fees to become a Nurse. It was the exam boards choice to fail me. Despite having sick notes and my Dad's death certificate. They also didn't inform me I have 10 working days to appeal. I now have to redo year 2 just for practice hours. Which I was only 200 hours on. All those 13 hour shifts I didn't get paid for, all lost. They had the choice to let me progress, but they held me back a year basically because my Dad died. I will graduate on £25000 a year. Is this even worth it?
