Some of you may have been aware that part of my Social Work degree, this semester, consists of a 14 week placement. Basically on the job training (but we don't get paid).
The placement I was supposed to commence 2 weeks ago fell through a week out from beginning, my potential supervisor realised (a little too late) that he didn't have the time to commit to taking on a student.
Anyhoooooo, the great news is I have secured a placement! I start tomorrow at the Rangitahi (youth) unit at Kenepuru Hospital, it's a mental health unit specifically for youth aged 13 to 19 years. I am feeling a mixture of excitiment and great nervousness. I think this is actually more my thing than the other would have been, my previous was with older people and not that I have anything against them I think I'm more keen to work with youth. I let ya know in 14 weeks!
Another of the upsides is I get to ride out to Porirua 4 days a week! :2thumbsup
