Nurses are calling for something to be done about the financial hurdles they face while finishing their studies.
The Nurses Organisation 2023 Student Survey found 84% feel nursing students should receive financial compensation during clinical experience.
Nurses' Organisation National Student Uni Co-Chair Shannyn Bristowe told Mike Hosking that there needs to be a fix to get students through.
She says scholarships or some form of a grant while students are on their placements could lessen the stress and help put food on the table.
