A study by Nursing Standard magazine and charity the Health Foundation found that of 16,544 UK students who began three-year degrees due to finish in 2017, 4,027 left early.
Figures from 2006 found the same drop-out rate, suggesting that attempts to address the issue over the past decade have had little effect.
Professor James Buchan, of Edinburgh’s Queen Margaret University, said: “Student nurse attrition has been for many years identified as a major problem for the UK, both in terms of the negative impact on individuals who leave programmes early, and also for the system at large, given nursing shortages are so prominent and increasing.”
