“…Response to the Clothier Report was swift. Nurses criticized the low priority given to children’s services ( Rogers 1993, Brykczynska 1994). Spinks (1994) highlighted the risk management recommendations in the light of the low staffing levels and concern was expressed for the possible discrimination that may occur against people with a history of mental illness, who may wish to enter nursing ( Lunn 1994)…”

The selection and retention of suitable nurses has occupied the thoughts of many people who have a vested interest in maintaining standards and avoiding loss of resources. By drawing conclusions from inadequate findings inappropriate recommendations may be made. In a study that considers the psychological profiles of nurses, it would appear that it is self-esteem and a 'need to be needed' that is a crucial facet of nurses ability to cope with the job of nursing; a job that encourages the characteristics of individualism, in a working environment involving caring, that epitomises the values of connectedness. This paradox leads to nurses' inability to cope and subsequently leave the profession using one of the many acceptable labels that are widely documented. Acceptance of the underlying causes for this attrition would necessitate better support services for vulnerable nurses allowing them to recognize their own needs, and gain a personal understanding of how their vulnerability might echo that of people in their care.
