What the petition asks
To recognise how many hours the nurses work and pay more from students to qualified nurses.
Nurses are leaving due to less pay and loads of hours. The morale at the moment is very low.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about support for nurses, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, it's not clear what you mean by "startup nurses".
