I just wanted to know if I'm not the only one who is a student nurse that is pregant.

Ever since I became pregnant, I have received so much critism and nasty remarks from mentors and dirty looks from other professional in the hospital that am often left crying in the loo's.

Like today, I started a new placement. Went in, introduced my self and all I got was "You epecting?" I said yes. She replied "why are you training, was it planned or an accident and gave me a big speech about being responsible.

Thing is, me and my partner already have a 4 yr old boy and have been trying for this baby for 2 years. We are such a happy family and really looking forward to our new arival.

What's wrong with having a lovely family and wanting to better yourself and provide a better life for your kids?
If I was in the benifit office signing on every week for the rest of my life then i'm sure people would also have comments to make.

I somtimes feel so down.:\?:cry::\(

Hi I think it was you who emailed me? I am a student nurse and only in my first year. dont worry about what others say they will get over themselves!! Im due in january what about you? where abouts in the country are you?
Im doing ADv dip in adult Nursing, what about you? I missed some of my first placement and I am going back to finish off. Personally I havent found any problems with anyone at Uni saying anything negative, although I am sure some people speak behind my back but tbh I dont care I am happy and have a lovely happy family,like you!
Are you seconded? I havent spoken to my seconding trust yet but they are aware that I am pregnant as my tutor asked me if she could tell them and I said yes, so all I need to do after my 12 week scan is make a few phone calls, as I need to go onto tracking as im taking 9 months out. The Uni have been really good with me and said not to worry if im short of placement hours when I go on mat leave as long as my theory and benchmarks are done.
would love to hear about how you are getting on xx

Hi. Wasn't me who texted you. Thanks for your reply.
I'm studying in South east London also doing Diploma. Got three weeks left of placement and 4 weeks of transition then first year finished! done and passed all the exams.
I caught the norovirus from one of the wards so was in hospital for a while so like you, also missed alot of placement. When did you start first year and where you studying?

Hi studying in dorset, stated in January this year. I will finish my first year and go back to start my 2nd year in september 2010. when are you going back?
I have no idea who emailed me then,lol!

I will also start second year sep 2010. How many months pregnant are you? I'm 5 months now.

Hi im almost 12 weeks. I will be finishing my last placement when im just over 37 weeks but in a way it will be nice as it means I will have more time at home after the baby is here! (if i took mat leave ear;lier I would have to go back at easter as I wouldnt be able to afford to take more time off!)
