At the start of our nurse training we were of the opinion that we were able to choose our guided option on our internship placement. However since starting this course this option has changed and we no longer get the choice of choosing our internship placement only the speciality that it is in. If you agree that as nursing students we should get to choose our internship placement down to the specific area that we will be working on for our 23 weeks internship / guided option, then would you please sign the petition below. PLEASE REMEMBER YOUR UNIVERSITY REGISTRATION NUMBER IT IS ON YOUR LIBRARY CARD! THE PETITION WILL ASK YOU FOR A DONATION WHEN YOU HAVE SIGNED BUT JUST IGNORE THIS. ***JOIN OUR FACEBOOK GROUP NORTHUMBRIA UNIVERSITY NURSING STUDENTS AND POST YOUR VIEWS THERE*** THANKS

I have been hearing from so many of you about how this lack of choice is creating unnecessary anxiety during our final clinical rotations. I am preparing a formal request for the department heads to explain why this shift occurred and why our professional preferences should carry more weight.

Seeing this grow has been overwhelming because I know exactly how much this internship choice impacts our future careers. Your support confirms that we deserve a say in where we spend those critical final weeks of training.

I really need a placement that matches what I want to do after graduation. not getting a choice is just setting us up to fail.

23 weeks is a long time to spend in a ward you have zero interest in. This needs fixing asap.

its so unfair that they changed the rules halfway through our degree. we spend enough time working for free and the least they can do is let us pick where we go.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS. We are practically working as staff nurses so we should have a say where we are placed. get it sorted.

Total rubbish. I was told when I started I could choose. Why change it now?
