Earning and learning: recruitment and retention in post registration nurse education.

The [Dearing, R., 1997. The Report of the National Committee of Inquiry into Higher Education. London, DFEE.] and the [Department of Health, 1998. A First Class Service: Quality in the New NHS. London, DOH.] have recommended widening access to Higher Education in the United Kingdom. Attention has recently focused on qualified nurse education. This has evolved as a result of the Government drive to expand the role of the nurse as a consequence of the shortage of doctors and the ambitious proposals set out in the NHS Plan [Department of Health, 2000. The NHS Plan: A Plan for Investment, A Plan for Reform. London, DOH.]. Subsequently whilst they are learning, many qualified nurses need to work in a demanding environment in addition to caring for their families. These combined activities often result in difficulty in sustaining their required learning experiences. This study explores how the positive aspects of University based learning may be combined with more flexible means of learning to improve recruitment and retention. A flexible modular programme may provide a solution to the problem of combining earning with learning. However, an effective staff and student support infrastructure must be established to ensure that flexible learning modes remain successful and viable alternatives to more traditional means of learning.
