Scholarships aim to ease financial burden on student nurses

From Nights, 10:45 pm on 21 August 2024

The shortage of nurses in our health system has been well documented and continues to be a big issue for the sector.

Now a new scholarship programme is set to ease the financial pressure for some student nurses in Auckland.

The programme is a partnership between the Southern Cross Health Trust and AUT.

Head of nursing at AUT, Dr Jan Dewar, joins Emile Donovan.
