Title of learning activity: Preparation for placement
Diary of Learning activity
During today’s class we spent time with Joicy and Jenny. We started the day reviewing the placement University Guidance and we’ve gone through the Epad requirements. I thought this review was useful, however after three placements I thought everyone in the class should’ve been on board. During the afternoon session we were meant to have the exam of meds calculation. Joicy decided to post-pone the exam as few people in the class were not feeling confident and prepared enough to sustain it. After a group review of a test we completed a mock exam to practice for the summative.
