Once again there are plenty of things I can write about. But I need to have a whinge, as I am so disappointed and upset.
My final Portfolio essay was due in in the beginning of January, I sought advice from the programme leader who emailed me saying:
"Deferring your Portfolio essay will not be a disadvantage providing you pass it the first time when you submit on the 2nd att date. If you need to resubmit it it can delay you finishing..."
I also had a conversation prior to this email where she said it's only a problem if you don't pass it on the first attempt. Well now I have found out I won't get my results until the 29th of May. 6 weeks after my course finishes. 6 weeks where I can't start working as a nurse because I won't be qualified. If I had been told this when I sought the deferral I would not have taken it, and now there's nothing I can do. I just have to hope my delayed start date won't affect my chances of finding a job. I am so cross/upset about it.
In other matters, my placement is going well. I'm now unsure about whether I have hours to make up or not, not that it matters now as I'm not finishing on time anyway. As if I didn't have enough to worry about with finishing work and finding a job.
I know this is all incredibly self centred of me, other people have far worse troubles. Like the mother of the 18month old who had to be resuscitated and transferred to Intensive Care. Or the woman in adults on Wednesday who had an accident at work involving her hand and an industrial food blender that resulted in the loss the fingers on her dominant hand.
I'm most upset because I feel I was misled, it wasn't a decision made given all the facts.

I don't think that your post is self centred at all. Yes, people go through horrendously traumatic events all over the world, but that doesn't mean you don't have a right to be upset.
Your anger is justified. Allow yourself to feel whatever you feel. Don't add guilt to your feelings as well; you have enough on your plate.
I'm glad that your placement is going well anyway.
I kind of understand what you mean. When I worked for Royal Mail I applied for a job and wasn't told the full nature of it. I ended up with a time-consuming and tedious task that I wasn't warned about previously. Sorry to hear this has happened to you. Glad things in other departmants are going well for you.
right, I've finally pulled myself together enough to comment.
Thank ou for your kind (and sensible!) words MMW, you're a good voice of reason to have around!
Thank you for your comment Mr Grumpy. It makes you wonder why people do it; give inaccurate or incomplete information. The paranoid part of me assumes she has it on for me, the rational part just thinks she's incompetent!
I'd go with incompetent - most people are these days.
