Logistical imposibility, i need help.
 

As a student nurse i am going to be put into my placement in january. Now i will be placed in St James's Hospital. My problem is however that i live 6 miles north of drogheda and commute into Dublin ever single day. I am expected to arrive in James's for 730 am every morning during placement. Now that means getting the first train of the day at around 605 am, this leaves me in connoly aroun 7 am, luas is then 20 minutes, getting changed after long walk from james's luas stop to locker room, 10 minutes, getting to ward on time, a further 5 minutes.

Its just not possible, and i cant drive yet and theres no parking for students anyway. Theres is no way i could ever wake up and make it to my destination on time and get changed into my uniform and then go through the maze of access back to the hospital and to my ward.:confused:

Hae you tried Rialto Luas stop? It's right by the back gate, near Hospital 7 I think.

I can only offer you the following advice.

Hook up with some fellow students and get a flat nearby and a bike. That way you can work, party and enjoy the temptations that will envelope you.:D
Was there no way you could have got a placement in a hospital closer to where you live?

Its trinity it only has placement in James's and Tallagh(adelade), but for the obstetrics ill be placed in Our lady of laurdes in Drogheda, but that wont be for a couple of years.

car pool with someone
get a moped


check with trinity accomodation office or the hospital staff notice board will probably have some stuff

Go on nights not a great answer I know.

Is it possible that there are other Student Nurses in James coming from the northside of the sity and you can car pool with them in or around Connolly? apart from that I'm flat out of ideas, apart form what Derek posted above about a flat (or apartment as i understand students call them these days. Never mind digs)
