In the first instance the initial phase whereby, nurses will not be working additional hours ( overtime ban) 31 st Jan, 1 st , 5 th 6 th & 7 th Feb may require that students are allocated to self-directed learning, and/or reflective practice. since the reduced staffing levels will mean that it will not be possible to provide students with supervision or preceptorship
This situation will emerge if there are insufficient numbers of nurses to take charge of unit / area.
Where there are sufficient numbers to take charge of the unit / area, Supernumerary student nurses may proceed with their rostered clinical placements as usual, this will be relayed to them by the CNM2 for the unit / service area.
In relation to Fourth Year Intern Students, they will report for duty with their nursing colleagues at the designated assembly area and will take up duty with their nursing colleagues when area / unit has a sufficient complement of staff.
