keep and create more government funded places in university for nurse training.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

George Osborne has proposed to universities that places can be funded by student loans so there is no cap on the amount of places available. They believe this will allow more people to enter a nurse training programme and create more nurses for our country.
Unions and I believe that this approach will not encourage more people to become nurses but will in fact discourage people from becoming nurses.
