Make nursing an apprenticeship style course, where placement are paid.
Stop nursing courses going through university and have more option for work based routes.
Nursing course are majorly based on placements, where student are wrongly being classed in staff numbers and treated as staff members, working full time shifts. They are getting a bursary solely for these shifts when doing near enough the same work as a qualified nurse and working the same, if not more hours.
