This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Scrap the NMC nursing registration fee.
It is unfair to expect nurses to pay £120 to register when they are putting their lives at risk still going to work. We cannot stay home and protect ourselves and our families.
More details
Some nurses like myself are not entitled to sick pay and are worried about the financial cost of getting the virus and having to stay home. I realise the government have introduced help in this instance, however it still feels wrong and immoral to charge nurses a fee to do their job in this current climate.
