The post Nursing crisis sweeps wards as NHS battles to find recruits first appeared on NMC CBT Practice Test for Nurses, Free Sample CBT Practice questions for Nurses.
]]>Hospital leaders say the nursing shortfall has been worsened by a collapse in the numbers of recruits from Europe, including Spain and Italy.
The most recent NHS figures reveal there are about 39,000 vacancies for registered nurses in England, with one in 10 nursing posts unfilled on acute wards in London and one in five nursing posts empty on mental health wards in the south-east.
The number of nurses from the European Economic Area joining the Nursing and Midwifery Council register has fallen more than 90%, from 9,389 in the year to 31 March 2016 to 810 in the year to 31 March 2021.
Ministers are being warned of a mounting workforce crisis in England’s hospitals as they struggle to recruit staff for tens of thousands of nursing vacancies, with one in five nursing posts on some wards now unfilled.

The number of nurses from the European Economic Area joining the Nursing and Midwifery Council register has fallen more than 90%, from 9,389 in the year to 31 March 2016 to 810 in the year to 31 March 2021.
Thousands of nursing shifts each week cannot be filled because of staff shortages, according to hospital safe staffing reports seen by the Observer.
The prime minister, Boris Johnson, is already under pressure over worker shortages in the UK after Brexit, from lorry drivers to farm workers. Concerns among health bosses about the impact on patient care of acute staff shortages are revealed as experts warned last week that flu could kill up to 60,000 this winter.
NHS trusts are being paid by NHS England up to £7,000 for each vacant post to try to recruit nurses from overseas countries including India and the Philippines.
Patricia Marquis, England director for the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), said: “There just aren’t enough staff to deliver the care that is needed, and we now have a nursing workforce crisis. We should never have got into a position where we were so dependent on international nurses. We are on a knife-edge.”

For example, at times, the Covid-19 pandemic has seen people pull together in so many ways to support and protect each other.
In contrast, others have brought out the worst in people and their behaviour. Notably, supermarket shelves were cleared of goods by panic buying back at the start of lockdown in March 2020, leaving nothing for essential workers after long shifts.
It sparked critical care nurse Dawn Bilbrough to make her impassioned plea to leave enough goods for everyone in a video that went viral on social media and was featured in the national media.
Now we find ourselves in the midst of a ‘fuel crisis’, which for once is nothing to do with Covid-19 but rather a lack of HGV drivers that means some garages are experiencing a shortage of supplies.
How this has suddenly transformed into panic buying, sparking long queues and waits at the pumps, the closure of some garage forecourts and fraying tempers and fisticuffs, all feels slightly surreal, unnecessary and quite frankly annoying.

]]>The Nursing and Midwifery Council has officially launched its new set of standards on the skills and knowledge the “next generation of nurses will learn to enable them to deliver world class care”.
At the same time as publishing the standards for nurses, the nursing regulator has also introduced standards for a “more modern and innovative approach” to the way universities and their practise partners train nurses and midwives.
The new standards represent two years of work and have been developed alongside nurses as well as, students, educators, healthcare professionals, charities and patient groups from across the UK.
As previously reported, in March the NMC signed off changes that will see all nurses in the future trained in the same set of procedures and communication skills regardless of their field of practice.
In addition, the NMC agreed to remove its cap on the number of hours students can spend on simulation activities, despite concerns this would reduce the amount of time on placements.
Major changes to mentoring have also been agreed, meaning students will now be supported by supervisors and assessors in both practice and academic settings.
Meanwhile, as part of the changes, the regulator will be adopting the Royal Pharmaceutical Society competency framework for prescribers.
It will also be removing its standards for medicines management and working with the society to produce “consistent guidance” for all health and social care professionals.

]]>NMC announced that the first candidates will begin taking the NMC’s new Test of Competence (ToC) from August 2021. The test enables professionals trained outside the UK and those returning to practice to demonstrate they have the right skills and knowledge to join the NMC’s register.
The new test reflects NMC world-class future nurse and future midwife education standards that set out what nursing and midwifery professionals need to know, understand and be able to do when they join our register. It will ensure that no matter where in the world professionals are trained, people receiving care can be assured that they’ll receive the same high standard of care.
Changes to the ToC will see the Computer Based Test (CBT) split into two parts covering numeracy and nursing or midwifery theory. The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) will assess additional skills as well as the candidate’s values and behaviours, and evidence-based practice
