Abstract

Nurses attending information sessions on the UKCC's Post-registration Education and Practice Project were given questionnaires seeking their opinions on the clauses of the proposals. The results showed enthusiasm for the initiative among those nurses, midwives and health visitors who took part, but reservations about how the recommendations could be put into practice. The implications of the introduction of the measures for a future educational strategy are outlined.

Hospitals' responses to nurse staffing shortages.

Hospitals have used a mix of short-term and long-term strategies to deal with nurse shortages, particularly efforts emphasizing nurse education, competitive compensation, and temporary staff. Interviews with health care leaders from Round Five of the Community Tracking Study indicate that these activities, in conjunction with other factors, have assisted in reducing shortages of hospital nurses. However, hospitals' actions have increased costs and raised concerns about their potential impact on patient care. Additionally, a large degree of doubt exists among hospitals about their ability to meet future nursing needs.
