She is a student from theNursing Training Institute (Ifsi) de Montluçon (Allier) who contacted us herself. “A large portion of nursing students expect to be paid their salaries for internships March, April and May ”, worries this young woman, who preferred to remain anonymous.
The payments in question
“In August I received my allowances… for January! Since nothing. We’re told it’s going to be unlocked, but it does not move and it gets complicated, ”she confides. They are in fact both mileage costs and those aimed at remunerating students during internship periods.
“Some of us have just that to live on. “

“Yes, we are aware of the situation “, Also assure the third-year delegates. “But we also know that we are 300 students and that we have been warned of the fact that if everyone does not submit their schedule on time, this leads to delays in payments ”.

Management responses
“We do not hide these delays, but they are above all due to the period », Explains Bruno Bouriquat, interim director of Ifsi. “The students who have been mobilized to fight against the covid in addition to the internships, there were apothecary accounts to do and it took us a long time ».
New provisions that appeared at the start of the year on accommodation and travel costs did not help matters either. ” But everything is about to be solved », Affirms Bruno Bouriquat. “Some payments were made last month, the last will normally be this month ».
Second wave: Ifsi mobilized?
Already heavily used during the first wave of thecoronavirus epidemic, the nursing students and nursing assistants of Ifas / Ifas in Montluçon will surely be again for the second. But with a clearer frame than in spring. “The goal is toensure pedagogical continuity », Indicates Bruno Bouriquat.
“So our students will not be able to be mobilized during their course periods “. At least that’s what has been defined to date. Likewise, the times during which they can be called upon to fight against Covid-19 will also be more limited. “We want our students to continue to be well trained,” concludes Bruno Bouriquat.
