Pay student nurses for working hours

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the government/ parliament to look into student nurses getting paid whilst training and put a stop to us working for free

I want this and many others do because we are having to all work up to 7 days a week just to afford to live. If you are a family that earns over a certain amount you are classed to be capable of living off parents wage when really this is irrelevant, at uni you are an adult - support yourself and pay your own bills no matter who you live with. This is making us work up to 80 hours a week , 3 13 hour shifts with the NHS free working and our own jobs just to be able to live.
