Petition More support for student nurses

More financial support is needed for student nurses. We are expected to work a 37.5 hour week learning placement as well as studying for essays and exams, plus working another job to earn money to live off and to look after other responsibilities (children etc). We can't cope to live, its stressful

Nursing tuition fees are free.
NHS bursary is only around £450 a month maximum. People with children get more.
