“…The distinction between RNs and ENs is similar to that which previously existed in the UK and currently exists in other Australian states (Francis & Humphreys, 1999). To be eligible to practice nursing or to take up work which is primarily concerned with the discipline of nursing, nurses are required to register with the Nurses and Midwives Board (NMB) of NSW on an annual basis.…”

The retention of registered nurses (RNs) in the nursing profession has become a key issue for governments. This article examines the impact of a change in the nature of nurse education, from hospital-based to university-based training, on the labour market behaviour of RNs. The analysis indicates that RNs trained in universities are approximately 6 per cent more likely to exit the nursing workforce than hospital-trained RNs. The analysis highlights the need to develop policies to address the low retention rates for nurses in the health system such as developing clearer career paths and enhancing the non-pecuniary aspects of nursing.

“…Personal care assistants, also known as assistant nurses (ANs) are not required to have formal qualifications or to have achieved a minimum standard of training. The number of unregulated workers or ANs employed in aged care is growing (Francis & Humphreys, 1999) and while an increasing number are undertaking aged care training at the Certificate 3 level offered by the VET sector, they still generally rely upon on-the-job training (Pearson et al 2001).…”

“…However, this achievement has been overshadowed somewhat by Health Education England’s introduction of a new support worker in 2015 called the “nursing associate” (Health Education England, 2016a), which is comparable to a licensed practical nurse in the United States. England previously had a role similar to this called the enrolled nurse, but that position was phased out in the 1990s over quality concerns (Francis & Humphreys, 1999). This policy seems inconsistent with efforts to strengthen the workforce through education and appears to be an attempt to stretch the workforce with less qualified staff.…”

Health care systems in England and the United States are under similar pressures to provide higher quality, more efficient care in the face of aging populations, increasing care complexity, and rising costs. In 2010 and 2011, major strategic reports were published in the two countries with recommendations for how to strengthen their respective nursing workforces to address these challenges. In England, it was the 2010 report of the Prime Minister’s Commission on the Future of Nursing and Midwifery, Front Line Care: The Future of Nursing and Midwifery in England. In the United States, it was the Institute of Medicine’s report The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health. The authors of both reports recommended shifting entry level nursing education to the baccalaureate degree and building capacity within their educational systems to prepare nurses as leaders, educators, and researchers. This article will explore how, with contrasting degrees of success, the nursing education systems in the United States and England have responded to these recommendations and examine how different regulatory and funding structures have hindered or enabled these efforts.
