I would like to know what I am setting myself up for career wise. I am due to start studying in September as a mature student for Midwifery. I don’t know why I’m having a change of heart but I suddenly feel like this could be a huge mistake. All I hear about is how bad the placements are and how students and qualified staff go home crying so much. Then comes the time when you are qualified and are left in an understaffed environment with no support. Is working for the NHS a mistake and for anyone who does work in a care field, do you wish you chose a different path, if so which one? The reason I ask is because I suffer with anxiety and I don’t cope with large amounts of pressure, so once in a while everything gets on top of me and I feel like having a breakdown. I worry that I haven’t even started and god knows what I am letting myself in for. I do work in the NHS currently as support staff and I am 30 years old, no children yet and I am married if that is relevant.
Thank you
