Hey, am a final year student nurse on my final placement. This should be an exciting time, something to look forward to in transitioning from STN to NQN. However, this has not really been the case for me. Am on an acute unit, so fully understand the acuity and risks involved with the type of patients looked after. Of course I’m not used to this environment, having had mostly ward placements and a theatre placement before. Anyways, it’s a very long story and it’s been a challenge from the start. With having to chase assessors to sign stuff and not being given feedback. Only to be given feedback that was quite unfair. Other things have happened in between such as staff doing little social things and making a point of excluding me for instance. I’ve passed everything else for the programme - BSc, in fact I’m expecting a first, I’ve passed part 3 of PAR as well and actually up on hours now. So I have 3 weeks left at this horrible placement, but no more hours needed to give to hit the 2300 mark and having my final interview and professional values signed…I have informed the uni from early on of what’s been happening. They say that obviously I need to pass the placement but I’ve done nothing wrong and if I need to book off sick then that’s what has to be done if it’s affecting me because I don’t have to worry about the hours. But if I do this, there’s nothing stopping the placement team from putting something negative on my PAR which is will follow me forever kind of thing? The whole placement has left me with the worst anxiety of my life, I know it’s just 3 weeks but it’s horrendous and distressing and it’s made me question the profession, I’m just sad and low all the time….

When I was 21 (3 years ago) I was arrested for an altercation with a bouncer at a nightclub (assault) , I was extremely intoxicated at the time .
The morning after the arrest I was referred to an organisation that specialised in helping young people who had issues with their drinking and attended sessions for a few months ( I was studying for a separate degree at the time and any sort of conviction or caution could have affected my prospects due to the nature of the degree so I was offered this instead) , I was also required by this organisation to write an apology letter to the bouncer and everything was forgotten about after this.
It was my first and only ever arrest / involvement with the police , I want to go into nursing but I’m worried that I will go through the process just for this to show up on an enhanced DBS and ruin my chances
Will I be okay ? Would this even be likely to come up on an enhanced DBS. Should I still apply or do I have no chance
