If this is the case, Please contact someone from the placements team ‘It would appear that student expectaons and a- tudes, personal characteriscs and behaviour, are all fundamentally important in ensuring a posive learn- ing experience. Although it is generally assumed that the mentor must take responsibility for leading the learning experience (NMC 2008), it is a two-way pro- cess and, as such, we need to prepare students for placements by enhancing their skills in the following areas: • emoonal resilience • interpersonal skills / communicaon • personal agency. They also require knowledge of their curriculum, learn- ing outcomes, assessment strategies, and an under- standing of the importance of idenfying specific place- ment learning opportunies, prior to starng a place- ment. The responsibility for shaping the placement experi- ence does not lie solely with the mentor. Students, therefore, need to be appropriately prepared for place- ments, as outlined above, if they are to maximise the available learning opportunies’ AnneCorrin,SeniorLecturer,UniversityofEssex www.rcn.org.uk Jenni Middleton, editor of the Nursing Times, said of the NHS: "Studentstellusoverandoveragainthattheirplacementisoneofthemostimportantaspectsoftheirtraining.Aposive placementexperiencewillnotonlyteachgoodpraccebutwillalsocoachstudentsinhowtodeveloprelaonshipswiththeir peersandpaents.Studentnursesoenapproachtheirplacementswithacertainamountoftrepidaon,butourfinalists have created culturesthataresupporve,caringandempathec–thebestenvironmentsinwhichtonurturethenextgeneraonofnurs- ing talent.Weapplaudtheirposivity,enthusiasmandwisdom."
