Fairer bursary system needed to keep more student nurses in training: The Guardian published a letter to the editor from the RCN responding to an article last week reporting that applications for nursing degrees have increased by 24%.

However, this figure is misleading and masks a worrying recruitment crisis in our nursing workforce. The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has consistently stated that 200,000 nurses will retire over the next ten years and we have nowhere near the numbers needed to replace them. This is partly because of an unfair and discrimina...
