Plans to scrap nurse bursaries will lead to staff shortages

Plans to scrap nurse bursaries will lead to staff shortages  Government plans to scrap student nurse bursaries will lead to an even greater staff shortage in the NHS.

This is the warning from the Royal College of Nursing, which has released the results of a survey of over 17,000 nurses, two-thirds of whom say they would not have studied nursing if they’d had to take out a full student loan and pay fees.

The RCN says this suggests the government’s proposal will put off thousands of potential nurses.  ONMedica News
