Rejected petition Reinstate NHS bursary for nursing students.

From August 2017 Nursing students in the UK have to pay just over £27k using a student loan to train as a nurse/midwife. We are already short of nurses and we are uncertain of what will happen when Brexit is complete. By 2020 this could mean a dramatic fall in new nurses leaving the NHS broken.
