Student nurses are the backbone of the NHS, it would be impossible to function without them.
Having supported a partner through nurse and midwifery training I’m aware of the huge stress studying, working and assignments is. It is impossible now for more mature students to access the provision.
Taking away the bursary showed the level of disdain the government has for the profession.
It was made very clear in the run up to the last election that the Tory’s had no respect for the NHS. It was clear that Labour were fighting for the NHS, our doctors, nurses and other health professionals. Yet many still voted for the Conservatives.
I didn’t stand on my doorstep clapping for our hero’s because to be honest I felt ashamed of such a sham and hypocritical statement.
If we were proud of our NHS Hero’s as a nation, we should never have let these b@stards the continued opportunity not only to destroy it, but line their own pockets whilst doing so.
