Summary
Newly qualified nurses report struggling to get NHS jobs due to internal-only adverts and experience requirements. The NHS is short-staffed, but we feel new nurses are blocked from helping. We want a review on access to Band 5 roles and improvements to support into practice. Nurses train for years to join the NHS, but when qualified, some find they can’t get jobs. We feel too many roles are for internal applicants only or require experience they haven't had the chance to gain. There are many ready to care for patients but are being shut out. We think the system is failing both nurses and the public.
