Shannyn Bristowe: student nurse on the collective concerns from nursing students over pay and job availability
from The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin · host Newstalk ZB
Nursing students across the country took to the streets yesterday amid rising financial pressures and lack of job vacancies. They've raised concerns about the lack of financial support for nurses-in-training during full-time placements - with many working up to three months with no compensation. Student nurse Shannyn Bristowe says there's a significant number of students who drop out of training due to financial reasons. "We need to realise that the cost of living has gone up by such a significant amount that while you're studying for your degree - you don't actually have the costs to meet the basic necessities of living or supporting yourself or your whanau."
