Despite the boycott of the clinics, Marisol Touraine assures us that all nursing students will benefit from an internship. Fearing for the quality of their training, the latter maintained the strike.
“100% of nursing students will have an internship to validate their diploma. This is the promise made by the Minister of Health, Marisol Touraine this Monday morning at the microphone of Europe 1. This announcement should perhaps relieve these worried students since the beginning of February. The Private Hospital Federation (FHP) threatened, in fact, to suspend the internships of nursing students, “if the government’s plan on tariffs is applied. “As such, she recalled that the clinics accommodate 32,000 trainees,” or a third of nursing students. ”
To fill this boycott, Marisol Touraine indicated that all nursing students will in fact be able to benefit from this internship, which is compulsory in their course, “thanks to the mobilization of the ministry, public hospitals, institutes for the fight against cancer, but also certain clinics, which they did not accept to reject students, and private non-profit institutions, ”said Marisol Touraine.
Finally, the minister has again tackled this sector by stressing: “I find that the attitude of the clinics is not good. “” They have nothing to gain by turning students into pawns in a game that does not concern them. “
Students fear for the quality of their education
Nevertheless, the future nurses have decided to show their indignation at being treated as “a bargaining chip”. They will therefore demonstrate this Tuesday in the provinces and March 13 in Paris. Especially since in this conflict between private clinics and the government, student nurses also fear for the quality of their training. Indeed, if the students are reassigned to other public internships, Karina Durand already feared that they would be forced to carry out their training “within overloaded services”, with “poor supervision”, she indicated recently in why do your.

The quality of care for endangered patients?
Finally, the latter also confided to why actor that the quality of care in these services could be impacted, to the detriment of the patient. “Teaching and supervision will be much more difficult in these overloaded services. This will necessarily be a source of errors for health professionals. With an impact on patient care and the quality of care, ”she concluded.
Listen to Karina Durand : ” Today, nurses are already working just in time. They already sometimes have trouble supervising students! “(interview carried out on 02/26/2014)
