Background
In order to facilitate the employment of newly qualified nurses following registration, we want the Government to collaborate with NHS organisations to enhance workforce planning and recruitment. More entry-level nursing positions should be created, supported transition-to-practice and preceptorship programs should be expanded, university-employer collaboration should be strengthened, and fair and prompt hiring procedures should be ensured. This could improve patient care, lessen a staff shortage, and help retain qualified nurses.
