To think most people don’t realise how stressful it is to train for nhs jobs?

I am currently in NHS training meaning that I attend university and work for the NHS part time. I am fortunate in that I get paid a salary for this ( unlike many of my AHP colleagues).
However, all this talk around the manifestos of the political parties and the NHS is making me feel so angry.
To gain a place on my training you need to be extremely committed and show an excellent history of both academic work and clinical skills. It is very competitive, however I know so many people who are struggling (myself included) and considering leaving entirely. It has made my life hell for 3 years.
AIBU to think that it needs to be looked at if we want to train and retain good and enthusiastic staff?

Is that because you did an undergraduate degree first and then a two-year post-grad in Midwifery? I’m just wondering about how those finances work out as I have a family member considering doing the same.

I’m doing my undergrad.

it’s just under £10k a year tuition and my maintenance loan is about £16k a year. I’m a single parent and it’s a long course so I get the full whack.
