Student nurses across England and Wales are struggling to secure permanent jobs as registered nurses after they graduate. This is deeply worrying. Nursing students are the future of nursing - they are critical to the future of our health and care services and patient safety.
Where will the NHS be if these passionate, highly skilled and safety critical new nurses can't join the workforce? Nurses and patients deserve better.
