Three-quarters of nurses do not think there are enough staff members to ''get the job done'', say Southampton researchers.

Only 24% of nurses believe that there are enough staff to properly care for patients.

And almost nine in 10 nurses said that at least one ''necessary activity'' was not done on their last shift due to lack of time - despite the average shift lasting for 12.8 hours.

Research, conducted by the National Nursing Research Unit, found that two fifths of nurses are dissatisfied with their job, with 44% saying they would leave their job if they could.
