Kindly note the Wellington rally has been moved to North City, Porirua, Top Carpark by Food Court.
On Saturday (tomorrow), New Zealand Nurses Organisation Tōpūtanga Tapuhi Kaitiaki o Aotearoa (NZNO) nursing students take their struggle to the streets calling on the Government to invest in their futures with paid training.
Students are given no additional financial help during clinical placements which sees them working full time without pay for up to 12 weeks – and often away from their hometown.
Existing student allowances aren’t enough to cover even the most basic necessities.
