I do agree that someone should be required to nurse for a minimum period in the NHS to qualify for full free bursary or have to pay it (or some of it) back should they not do that.
I don't vote Labour.
) , if they then go on to work in that sector but limited to useful degrees , doctors ,nurses even teachers(although teachers should be forced to get out into the big wide world before being allowed to teach, the best teachers i had were those who worked before becoming teachers) and other important roles that serve the country, all others should be paid for , lets face it a lot of people use uni as a skive .The other side is having a degree doesn't mean you are going to be any good in your chosen field, and in that case they should pay most of the tuition fees back.
I know a few people who left hospitals to work for agencies, pick n choose hours ,do less hours and earn the same or more for a lot less hassle.
one way to deal with agencies would be to have a bank of trained medical staff and rather than paying astronomical agency fees, use the workers who you have in that bank, it would wipe out the agencies and save the nhs a small fortune.
They do have an NHS bank for nursing but you get paid flat rate and not overtime for working extra shifts.
