Review the student nurse bursary: take into account people's circumstances
Review the current bursary for student nurses in Northern Ireland, which is just £430 a month and doesn’t reflect the immense workload we face. It should take into account peoples personal circumstances - especially those with families, rent or experiencing hardship. It is nowhere near enough money.
The current bursary for student nurses in Northern Ireland is just £430 a month, which doesn’t reflect the immense workload we face. Between university classes, exams, essays, placements, and NiPad (our placement record), we’re juggling a lot. We can do up to five shifts a week, but even if we work extra, our bursary is still far from enough to cover living expenses—especially for those with families, rent, or mortgages to pay. It works out at £2/hour - nowhere near minimum wage. It isn’t fair
