Provide adequate financial support to nursing students during their degrees

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Increase student finance loans for nursing students due to longer academic years. We read for 42 weeks of the year, complete 2,300hrs of unpaid placements across our degree and receive the same financial support as other students.

26,755 left the nursing profession (NMC) during March 2022 and March 2023. Applications to nursing fell by 8% in 2022 as reported by UCAS. Final year applications to student finance decrease as standard, but this still effects nursing students despite the longer academic year.
