Student nurses on Covid frontline still fighting for pay
Student nurses in their first, second and third year are still fighting to receive pay. File picture.
Student nurses who are on the front line of the fight against Covid-19 are still not being paid, but they are hopeful the minister for Health Stephen Donnelly will listen to their pleas.
The Department of Health is engaging with trade unions on revising the existing student nurse and midwife allowances for clinical placements, and they say the process should be completed "in the coming days."
