I am a secondary school teacher with many yrs experience of stress and workplace bullying. We are both in so much debt from the 4yr MPharm, I am really worried about failure at the final hurdle. The pre-reg placement is community, working 5 days per wk 9 till 6 with max 4 hrs study time within these hours. How many hours per week must be done above and beyond these hours? Offspring arrives home exhausted in tears fairly often!
The pre-reg year can give you this isolated feeling.
It sounds like he/she needs a mentor who has recently qualified. Wonder if there's anyone on the board here who can offer advice?
