Clear all nurses student debt after covid 19 pandemic ends.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Once the covid 19 pandemic is over all nurses student debts should be erased as a nationwide show of gratitude for the sacrifices and hard work put in by the nurses of our magnificent country.
Nurses are vital to our country and should be hailed as the heroes they are.
This would be a gesture of goodwill by the people of this country to thank them for their hardwork and sacrifices during both the covid 19 pandemic, and in general everyday work life.
