Nurses Speak Out on Burnout, Balance, and the Future of the Profession in New Survey

Professor Nicola Ranger, RCN general secretary, is delivering a keynote speech on May 12, 2025, in Liverpool at the annual congress about nursing challenges.
The speech follows the NHS Pay Review Body's recommendation of a 3% pay rise for nurses, with concerns over a month-long government delay in announcing it.
Ranger will warn about dreadfully unsafe staffing levels, unacceptable corridor care, and a report claiming patients have died or remained undiscovered for hours.
A YouGov survey of 2,000 youths shows 88% would not consider nursing due to low pay and underfunded services, while nurse applicants have dropped 34% since 2021.
Ranger urges ministers to stop delays, fund pay rises fully to avoid service cuts, and highlights the need to attract young people to prevent workforce shortages.
