The short course every maternity nurse completes before her first placement. Five lessons and a knowledge check: what a placement is (and isn't), daytime days and nights, your profile and the board, the first call and agreeing dates, and being in a family's home. Once you've passed and your documents are checked, the Parent board opens.
What’s in the course
-
1 What a placement is
Enrol to watch
Two to five days with one family, a parent always in the house, a reference at the end — and the things a placement is not.
-
2 Daytime and nights
Enrol to watch
What daytime days and nights involve, what's covered, your rest, your travel — and the honest answers to the questions every nurse asks.
-
3 Your profile and the board
Enrol to watch
What parents can and can't see on your card, writing a bio that gets you chosen, and why availability updates matter so much.
-
4 The first call and agreeing dates
Enrol to watch
The parent rings you; you agree days, travel and rest in writing with us on cc; the money boundary, said plainly once.
-
5 During and after
Enrol to watch
Soft skills in someone's home, the day-one check-in, your rest and expenses, and the reference we chase for you.
