We’re airing the cost of unpaid placements.
We’re transforming campus into a fake launderette to highlight the hidden costs nursing students face while on unpaid placements.
Your SU has been leading on a national campaign pay the placement to support nursing students.
Why? Student nurses are working 30+ hours a week on placement.
Unpaid.
While still covering rent, travel, food and everyday living costs.
We don’t think that’s right.
More than 14,000 people have already signed the petition.
Now we’re aiming for 100,000.
Join us for campaign week at Essex SU at our fake pop-up launderette on Square 3...
