The looming nurse recruitment crisis

Article Abstract:

Banning overseas nurses will come back to haunt the NHS

Article Abstract:

The UK government's new decision to curtail the recruitment of overseas nurses, on the grounds that the decision would allow newly qualified UK nurses to find jobs is a false positive. The government has failed to consider the fact that one generation of UK nurses are due to retire by 2010, thus creating another major nursing shortage.
