Rejected petition Scrap fees for student nurses spending their final training fighting COVID 19

Student nurse, the future of nursing, have been hit in recent years with the removal of the bursary and the introduction of uni fees. I call on the government to scrap the final year fees for students who choose to carry out their final 6 months in placement fighting Covid19 with nurse colleagues.

More details

Student nurses are an invaluable part of the multi disciplinary team as well as the future of nursing. Every nurse has been a student Nurse but none have been through what these students have had thrown at them; the removal of the bursary & the introduction of student fees. Now we ask that they consider spending their last 6 months of training in placement, working alongside nurses and medics, fighting the largest pandemic the world has seen in a generation while still paying student fees
