Six out of 10 nurses are considering leaving or actively planning to leave their current role, according to a survey by the Royal College of Nursing in Scotland.
RCN Scotland recently released results from the union’s latest employment survey, which was carried out before the Omicron wave hit at the end of 2021. In total, 1,300 RCN members in Scotland responded to the survey.
The reasons given by staff for wanting to leave included regularly working beyond contracted hours, staff feeling under too much pressure and staff feeling that they could not deliver the level of care they wanted.
