NHS recruitment. School daze.
School pupils from ethnic minorities do not see the NHS, and nursing in particular, as offering attractive job opportunities, even in an area of high unemployment. Nursing is perceived as menial, very poorly paid and stressful. Trusts need to improve their literature and send staff into schools to improve recruitment.
