Nursing recruitment still going backwards, as RCN urges ministers to intervene
Executive Director of RCN England, Patricia Marquis, said: “Every student accepted onto a nursing course today is starting the journey towards an incredible and fulfilling career, but the reality is we need many, many more to do the same. The numbers joining the profession have fallen once again, down 20% in just three years. Nurse recruitment policy is failing right in front of our eyes and a workforce crisis is deepening."

Understanding the factors underpinning suicidal ideation amongst the UK nursing workforce from 2022 to 2024
Nursing is vital to the health and care system, providing care and support to patients, service users and their families. However, it is essential to acknowledge that registered nurses themselves can face significant challenges, some of which can adversely affect their mental health, including thoughts of suicide. This report explores the prevalence of this issue and its impact. The report recognises that suicidal ideation is complex and that talking about causality is something to be avoided. If you need support, you can call the Samaritans on 116 123, or you can find useful guidance on the RCN’s website: Counselling service | Royal College of Nursing (rcn.org.uk). You can also contact your Employee Assistance Programme. In an emergency, contact 999.
