Most university students do not qualify for student allowance, and even if they did, most have to work part time to afford basic living costs. It is more doable if you were studying a BA or BComm with an expectation of 20-25 hours per week of classes. But for courses that are heavy on clinical placements such as nursing and medicine, we are expected on site 40+ hours per week already with studying and assignments on top of that. In this video, the TWO representative is having to dodge the question around funding nursing students. Which is understandable given that TWO does not have control over funding for nursing student wages. The argument against paying nursing students is that an employment agreement means that they would work more than they learn but of course at the moment they still work more than they learn but aren't paid for it. What we could be looking at as an alternative model is either universal student allowance for core professional university degrees - think nursing, teaching, social work and medicine. Or expand what we already have which is the Medical Trainee Intern Grant. This is paid to final year (6th year) medical students as a grant which is an untaxed stipend. This income was created when the Trainee Intern role was moved from being an employed junior doctor to an extra year as a medical student to improve the learning of graduates to have an extra year to practice these difficult tasks. By removing the employment it reduced the burden of responsibility but the grant still honours the work that final year students contribute. We could recognise the value and labour done by students in these core professional training placements that contribute to our public services. Police are paid for their four month training course, why can't we value our nurses the same? In debates with likely Minister of Health-elect Dr Shane Reti, we were in agreement that workforce must be a key priority for Te Whatu Ora and The Ministry of Health. It will be interesting to see how and if things may change. To anyone who says we can't afford to support our nursing students, I say we can't afford to have this health workforce crisis.

Why not go into nursing? Dad asked I don't like it, I responded not trying to be disrespectful You should go into nursing, it'll look good on you, my cousin intruded Hmm? OK. Thank you I answered dryly What could make Dad insist I go into nursing? Could it be a result of two failed attempts to pass WAEC and GCE? Was he tired already? Too many questions but no answer. What do I do? It won't be easy sponsoring yourself to school, Esther. I explained to myself. But there's no harm in trying I concluded. It's easy when you have the support of others even in adverse situations. What if you didn't have it, will you quit? Will you blame it on others? Back to our story 😊 You know that feeling of having good news but not being willing to share it? I had that feeling. How do I tell Dad that I was offered provisional admission to Tai Solarin University of Education to study English language? The joy of gaining admission outweighed any response I was going to receive. Guess his reaction? That dream you have won't be funded by anyone if you don't take a step. There's no such thing as seeking the approval of others (though valid) before pursuing your goal It's OK to start alone. It's OK to feel fear, but do it afraid anyway. It's OK to be uncertain but take a step. TAKE A STEP

The State Government is charting a pathway for the next generation of Queensland nurses through free vocational education and training. The State Government will provide an additional $40.60 million on top of our existing investment in Diploma of Nursing estimated to be $46.9 million. This represents an $87.5 million boost to the Diploma of Nursing Fee Free TAFE program – saving students up to $24,000. This is on top of the National Skills Partnership between the Queensland and Australian governments that will see 43,400 free TAFE places available in the Sunshine State over the three years from 2024, backed by a $170 million investment. More than 58,000 students have benefitted from Fee Free TAFE this year, including 2,400 Diploma of Nursing students. Recent Jobs Queensland’s data shows the Health Care and Social Assistance industry is expected to grow by 16.4 per cent by 2025-26.

One lesson I've learnt so far on my journey as a student nurse is to be immune to insults from senior colleagues or staff nurses. I remember a particular day during one of my clinicals, a staff nurse asked me to administer a particular medication which I wasn't conversant with, to a patient. I immediately indicated that I didn't know which medication it was and that I needed assistance in identifying it. Trust me when I say, I heard a ton full of insults that day and they really stung. However, she later on helped me, and ever since that day, I not only can identify the medication, but also can tell it's function, dosage and all that pertains to it. Yes, it's good to be knowledgeable about whatever your duty is and entails. However, remember you don't build a castle in a day. Learning is a process, be open to it and follow through diligently. No gree for unnecessary pressure❌! What salient lessons have you learnt so far on your academic journey as a student or an intern?

📌📌 Nursing is a very useful and secure career option for many students.However, a 3-4 years course can seem expensive for many students. * The aim of the M.R group is to build the career of as many students as possible.Therefore, the fees for GNM and B.Sc nursing are relatively low in the M.R group. * Besides, the M.R group launched a scholarship program, which can help a student to manage the expenses of course. In nursing, you can get up to INR 50000/- scholarship if you are eligible. * Not only that, but there are also student credit card facilities available for all students. Any student can apply for that card and use it for college expenses. As after the nursing course, there is a 100% chance of getting a well-paid job you can easily pay off the credit card bill. * So, do not worry about the expense as you can earn enough after the course. 👉For more information Call-9051044044 or visit our website : https://lnkd.in/d2vqibn4 #SecureYourFuture #CareerGrowth #admissionopen #scholarshipopportunities #ScholarshipsAvailable #lowprices #bscnursing #gnm #nursing #mrgroup

What I recognise as a a repeat key feature when I talk to nurses- No opportunity to change areas of work without dropping grades. Minimal opportunity for CPD Devaluing of CNS roles Taskification of work that requires clinical skills.
