More harrowing stories have emerged about the treatment of AUT nursing students following our story last night.
Yesterday third year nursing students told Checkpoint they were working unpaid, 40-hour-week hospital placements, alongside full-time study with no payment or compensation for petrol or hospital parking.
Most were also juggling jobs to make ends meet. And whilst AUT said it takes the wellbeing of students seriously, more students have contacted Checkpoint describing placements as uncomfortable, or dangerous, situations.
One describes second-year students being placed on a dementia ward with convicted rapists and murderers.
Checkpoint reporter Tom Taylor has the story. |
