why do other courses with work placements give students paid positions but not nursing?
was having a discussion with a friend who is doing her primary school education degree and when they have to go on placement they always get paid on their placement. It’s the same on quite a few other courses too, so why are we still having to pay £9k a year to do 2300 hours of work for free? a lot of the time we are basically used as extra staff, especially when we are able to be more independent in 3rd year. Okay trainee teachers will be given their own group of children but were given our own group of patients completely on our own
