Rejected petition Student nurses to get paid for clinical practice
Student nurses that did not get bursaries shouldnt be expected to work for free during the pandemic, some form of wage should be agreed.
More details
During the pandemic student nurses are expected to be front line key workers, putting risk to themselves and their families. As students they go on placement to learn and work under supervision, during these stressful times they are not learning, instead they are used for free to relieve pressure. NHS staff are getting paid to do the jobs student nurses have to do for free.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Student placements are a matter for the educational institutions the student is enrolled in, the organisation sponsoring the placement, and the regulatory bodies that are responsible for the qualifications, not the Government or Parliament.
If you have concerns about continuing with a placement you should raise these with the educational institution you are enrolled in, the organisation sponsoring your placement, and the relevant regulatory body.
