Technical Institutes

Student nurses have to travel from the Institute to work at hospitals. This is a compulsory requirement of their courses. They also have to provide their own protective clothing for clinical work, unlike Hospital Board Student Nurses.

A survey at Auckland Technical Institute in 1977 found that it would cost $60,000 to pay public transport fares (and taxis after ll am and before 7 am) for the travel costs at that institution alone.
