Nursing students in the UK: have you considered leaving before graduating?

We would like to hear from students across the UK who are thinking of quitting their nursing degree

According to a report from the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), seen by the Guardian, about 32,000 nursing students in England could walk away before they graduate.

Half of nursing students in England have considered leaving and we want to find out more about the experiences of nursing students across the UK.

If you have thought about dropping out of your nursing degree, we’d like to hear from you. Why are you thinking of leaving? If you have recently left, what was your experience like?
