Student nurses feel 'let down' by the Government

Chloe Slevin, a student nurse, says nursing students have been badly let down by the Government.

Student nurses have said they felt "abandoned" by the Government after their placements were cancelled due to the rising rate of Covid-19.

Students also question why the scheme from last March, where the HSE offered student nurses from first to third year health care assistant (HCA) contracts, has not been reinstated.
