Students of hardship
Article Abstract:
Student nurses need to feel valued by both society and their work colleagues to ensure they will stay in the job and prevent the nurses shortages becoming more serious. Student nurses often have to take part-time employment to make up a shortfall in their pay, making it extremely difficult to have any form of social life, which in turn makes them overly tired and open to mistakes on the wards. The job of nursing is very satisfying but job satisfaction is not the only reason for staying in a job.
