Clinical placement: can I quit if itโ€™s not working out? Nursing students may face challenges during allocated clinical placements, from financial strain to feeling unwelcome and unsupported. Since the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) requires nursing students to complete a minimum of 2,300 practice hours for their pre-registration nursing programme, quitting a clinical placement is viewed as a last resort. So what can students do if they feel they are not getting what they need from their placement? Our panel of nursing lecturers, a student and a newly registered nurse offer their advice.
