We need to be doing all we can to help support and attract skilled health professionals to live, study and work in South Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Currently, regional students have to apply for grants or scholarships to cover the costs of undertaking placement in metropolitan and regional hospitals, which is a requirement of their studies.<\/p>\n<p>However, many had strict eligibility criteria, leaving many students unable to apply. Mr Bell already has a strong ally in Member for Giles Eddy Hughes, who lives in Whyalla.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have had conversations about it and he sees people with the same issues so hopefully we can get some funding for nurses and their placements in Adelaide,\u201d Mr Bell said. \u201cWe want those skills to then come back to our local hospitals.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Campaign to level the playing field for local nursing students South Australian Health Minister Chris Picton has already knocked on Member for Mount Gambier Troy Bell\u2019s door as the wheels are in motion to push for a subsidy for regional nursing students undertaking placement at metropolitan hospitals.
