In this RCN Policy report we assess the gaps in the domestic nursing supply pipeline which (1) limit the potential output (2) cause nursing students to leave their studies and (3) lead to early career nurses leaving. Based on this, we recommend a package of interventions to fix the pipeline and resolve issues of high attrition and low output.
