The provincial government is monitoring the situation involving students at Memorial University’s School of Nursing very closely.Those students are in the middle of completing their clinicals, and if the strike drags on, that could mean a delayed graduation and a delay in starting the jobs many of them have already lined up.

Premier Andrew Furey says government is looking at potential measures available, while also recognizing that a collective bargaining process is underway. Furey wouldn’t specify what specific measures they are looking at, but did say that they are looking at all instruments available to ensure that nurses have access to the education and career that they have trained for.

Student Madison Bailey says a prolonged strike would have financial implications for students who are not allowed to have other jobs during clinicals, which are unpaid. She says students really need to start working on May 1. Outside of that, they are seeing first-hand the challenges facing the health care system and they wish to be part of the solution.

I say I seen alot of support from students at mun along with the public driving by more then I expected posters are not been unreasonable letting other staff by and friendly I have too say happy bunch I most say students on picked line showing support

Typical nurses, everything is about them is it? How about the other thousands of students affected by the strike? Nurses should have to do an extra course in regards to having a better attitude with how selfish and cocky they are

Lmfao

Only thinking about this now? Students should also be worried about the cost of tuition increasing but I guess if the graduating it’s not those students I gotta worry
