**NEW** Want to win an iPad2? Take part in the national nursing and midwifery student survey to be in with a chance
Nursing Standard and RCN Students want to build a picture of life as a student nurse. We would be really grateful if you could take 15 minutes to complete our survey: www.nursing-standard.co.uk/studentsurvey
Don't be put off if you are a newly qualified nurse - we would like to hear from you too. The closing date is 1 June, and all students that complete it will be entered into a prize draw for the chance to win an iPad2 or £175 of Marks and Spencer vouchers.
Student Finance Guide
We have launched a new online resource called MoneySmart: Your Guide to Student Finance. The guide can be found on our website by visiting www.rcn.org.uk/student_finance_guide. The interactive document provides advice on bursaries, budgeting, benefits and housing as well as top tips on how to make your money go further. It has been compiled by experts in the RCN’s Welfare Rights and Guidance department.
Frontline First
The RCN continues to work to ensure that frontline services in the NHS are protected from damaging cuts and efficiency savings through its Frontline First campaign. Read more about the campaign on the Frontline First website.
