title: RCN welcomes rise in nurse manager numbers.
abstract: A 20 per cent rise in the number of nurse managers in England reflects a welcome return to valuing the nursing profession, according to the RCN. The rise from 4,821 in 1999 to 5,784 in 2002 was spelled out in the third of the college's annual labour market reviews, More Nurses, Working Differently, published last month.
