this was really helpful . Do all student mental health nurses get an hour break that you take when you want in like 2 half an hour shifts? im going to uni to do mental health nursing and im nerves in placement ill not cope with 12 hour shifts without two breaks
In my ward, you get a 15 min break, then a 30 min, then another 15. It's split up at various times throughout the day and is usually decided by the staff nurse. Don't be nervous about placement, just work hard and try your best to learn your stuff and you'll have absolutely no issues!
