Where do you want to use the sentence? Context can be everything for preposition use, and a job application context can be far from a hospital-based story context, for example.

Let's just say I'm telling someone about my first hospital clinical placement.

"on my first clinical placement" sounds right based both on instinct as well as empirical data. ("student nurses on clinical placement in the paediatric ...")

There's a Q&A about 'for/in/on prepositions' that explains how context and intent affect the choice. -- Also you could say: "I went in the ...", "I went to the ...", but don't forget that "I went in to the ..." (and not repeat in), "I went for the ... in/for/on ...", "I went on the ... in/for/on ..." is also possible.

If this was just describing a past event to a friend, for example, the second would be a good choice:
- I went to cardiac ward for my first clinical placement.
It still needs so work, as 'ward' is a count noun and if left without an article or anything will default to the uncount noun:
- to the cardiac ward
Finally, 'went' is rather a single-use verb, it lacks the feeling of a repeated action. So we could use a different ploy:
I was on the cardiac ward for my....

'went to' suggests a single visit, while 'went on' is unlikely and more likely to be use in situations like: 'I went on a bicycle'.
