Pay student nurses and midwives national minimum wage for placements
Pay all student nurses and midwives at least national minimum wage for their 2300 clinical hours on placement.
It would encourage more individuals to come forward to be become a nurse - stopping the shortage of nurses.
It would take financial stress off students.
It would allow students to not have to work for money alongside doing 37.5 hours on clinical placements.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
You may wish to sign this petition calling for a similar action: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/593957
If you want a petition specifically requiring student midwives and nurses to be paid the minimum wage, we could accept a petition requesting this, but it would need to request that this be imposed as a requirement on employers, as the Government wouldn't be responsible for paying this directly.
