Removing the student nurse bursary has been a disaster Two years on from the removal of the NHS student bursary, applications to nursing degree courses have plummeted by a third in England.
Numbers applying to begin training in September 2018 have dropped 12% compared to the same time last year, resulting in a total decline of 16,580 since March 2016, the last year students received financial support through the bursary.
The fall in mature student numbers has been even more extreme, with a 16% drop by the June application deadline compared to the same point last year, and a total decline of 40% since June 2016. Royal College of Nursing
