- Do you sometimes feel like when placement gets busy that you don't know what to do? Do you find yourself feeling useless when the ward is busy? I want to help you with 5 tips when it gets busy on the ward, of things you can do to help.
Contrary to what you might believe; you can absolutely learn when the clinical environment is busy. You certainly may not receive any formal teaching, or even things explained in great depth but you will absolutely learn how to cope when the ward is busy. You will learn a lot about how you cope with stress, as well as learn how what jobs need to be done when the qualified nurses are busy with their patients.
I talk a lot about helping others in the video, as well as cleaning up the ward and looking after rooms such as the sluice; these jobs are fundamental to a healthy functioning clinical environment. It is very tempting to feel like you are being used to complete all the jobs that other people don't want to do but in the process of supporting your colleagues, you will be subconsciously learning a great deal about how wards function. To turn this unconscious learning into valuable lessons; you need to reflect.
Knowing what you can do as a student nurse when the ward gets busy is very beneficial as you won't feel like you're lost and you will have control over feeling confident as a nursing student on placement. The student nurses' role on a busy ward is fundamental as you can help to deliver safe and effective care to the patients, even if you don't have direct contact with them as the jobs you will be carrying out are key!

Very good tips . Thank you
Thank you for making these videos 🥰
You are more than welcome, Anna! I love making them, and just hope some people find them useful! :)
Thanks for this video 😊 I'm starting my placement next week.I'm so nervous 😔
Hello Mavis! It’s my pleasure! How is your placement going?
:) Thanks for the video, good pragmatic advice. I'm starting my first placement soon (Acute inpatient ward), and to be honest, any nerves are wholly offset by just being keen to get out of the house!
Do you have any thoughts on facial hair as a nurse? I did have a full beard until recently (about 1ft long), and chopped it down as it just wasn't compatible with facemasks. It's now 'scruff' similar to yours, but not really sure how accepted that is.
Hello Tom, thanks for your comment - I am pleased you found it useful :)
Should I be offended that you just called my stubble "scruff" 😳 Haha. It is a good point really because when I was a student, it was written in the practice learning policy of my university that men had to be clean-shaven or have an established but well-groomed beard. With the addition of Covid-19; at my Trust we advised men to be clean shaved if looking after Covid positive patients due to needing to wear an FFP3 mask instead of the normal FRSM - I would say that when you get fit-tested for the FFP3 mask, the team will advise you there. DIfferent Trusts and universities allow different things when it comes to appearance. Hope that is a little useful...
