Abstract

A number of constraints have hitherto prevented practice nurses from meeting their learning needs. In this paper the author outlines the new educational opportunities coming on stream in the wake of the UKCC PREP initiative. The need for a range of educational programmes is stressed and the key elements of a diploma course for practice nurses in north London are also explained.

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.
