There are significant recruitment and retention problems in nursing in the NHS. Nurses are leaving the NHS at a faster rate than they are being recruited. A review of the existing literature and research undertaken over the last 15 years has highlighted a number of apparently consistent themes in barriers to recruiting and retaining nurses in the NHS. In this report the authors warn that the NHS has ignored many of the problems facing nurses because it has been able to rely on their commitment to its ideals and to its work. That loyalty, the report argues, should not be assumed to be indefinite. Nurses are highly dissatisfied with many areas of their work: low pay, bleak conditions, constraints on resources and lack of control over what happens around them. Many, particularly nurses from black and minority ethnic groups, suffer discrimination at work. Inflexible working times, problems in obtaining affordable housing, the grading system and the long stream of organisational changes to the NHS are also causes of complaint. This report argues that the NHS needs to make improvements on all these fronts if it is to recruit and retain nurses successfully. [SMD]
