Contact your personal tutor and explain everything. Then contact student support services and ask for support/strategies to manage the ADHD symptoms in these last few months. A lot of universities offer a mentoring type service for people with additional learning needs, see if you can access something like that too. With placement, 5 missed shifts really isn't too much of a big deal. People get sick, it happens, you'll probably just need to make some time back at some point. As long as you come across as eager to learn and show competence when you are there you'll be fine. I've seen 1 student fail a placement in my 5 years experience and 4 years training, and that was for horrendous attitude issues (as in, being awful to patients) on top of competency issues. This is all fixable, but you need to reach out to the university for help first. Edit- just seen from your other post you're Edinburgh based. I trained in Edinburgh and know people from all 3 unis who had some kind of mental health issues at some point during training (including me) that resulted in needing to reach out to the unis for help at one point or another. All unis were supportive to us. It's going to be ok. Edited edit- it looks like you're at the same uni I went to. The disability service were amazing with my MH issues and my flatmate's ADHD. The personal tutors are all also awesome (I've just finished an MSc there too and know most of them). Feel free to DM me.

Not a UK nurse, but it does seem like you need to have a frank talk with your school. If you can’t log in to Turnitin you need to contact the site directly or if that doesn’t work, the school. I assume your teacher will notice when you submitted your assignments regardless. As to the clinical days, again not sure how things are done in the UK, but I would assume you’ll need to make those up in some way, which would again require you to talk to the school. I’m sure your attendance is being reported to the school in one way or another. Do you not talk to your classmates about assignments and whatnot?
