When nursing students turn to temping to fight job insecurity

Abstract

While insecurity can affect students in any field of study, those studying to become nurses are particularly badly off. Receiving lower internship allowances than other students, depending on the region and not on the regional center for university and school works, they also have to deal with a very busy training program. Many of them then turn to temporary work, which allows them to earn what they need to continue learning their future profession. This situation should no longer exist in 2023: all students should be able to train under good conditions.
