‘I would urge all RCN members to look at the Carr report’
The “rising importance” of student nurses being able to access clinical supervision during their studies has been emphasised by the nursing regulator in a letter to universities.
The letter, by Professor Geraldine Walters, director of professional practice at the Nursing and Midwifery Council, and seen by Nursing Times, seeks to clarify that clinical supervision can be counted as hours in practice, noting that there had recently been some “confusion” over this.
“It is as important as communication and the fundamentals of nursing so should be included in all undergraduate curricula”
Professor Walters confirms in the letter: “We encourage clinical supervision and reflection as part of the student journey and beyond registration.”
She said that the NMC’s standards “support clinical supervision as a recognised part of clinical practice” and that it would “expect practice learning partners to have the capacity and capability to provide this”.
Clinical supervision is a formal opportunity for nurses and students to reflect on and discuss their experiences in practice with a registered professional, and can happen via one-to-one, group or online meetings.
The intervention from the NMC in the form of the letter was campaigned for by members of the Clinical Supervision Subject Expert Group, which is convened by the Florence Nightingale Foundation (FNF).
Professor Gemma Stacey, director of the FNF Academy, told Nursing Times the letter was a “massive win” for the group, which has been running for around 18 months and is seeking to address the current variation in access to high-quality clinical supervision among nurses and nursing students across the UK.
She said a key message from the letter was that time in clinical supervision can in fact contribute towards the 2,300 hours of practice learning that students are required to complete in order to register through placements.
“One of the things that we identified was that students often struggle to argue that their clinical supervision should be counted as practice hours, and so they would end up doing it on top of their already massive workloads, which reflects what happens in practice as registered nurses as well,” noted Professor Stacey.
The expert group raised its concerns with the NMC via the regulator’s professional strategic advisory group (PSAG) meetings.
The Foundation of Nursing Studies (FoNS), which is a member of the expert group, took along a group of learning disability and mental health nursing students to share their own experiences with the NMC.
The students had taken part in a virtual resilience-based clinical supervision (RBCS) programme, which was facilitated by FoNS in early 2021, but found it difficult to get their time in the programme recognised as practice hours.
Joanne Bosanquet, chief executive of FoNS, told Nursing Times : “Our amazing students articulated their frustrations with claiming practice hours for the hours they had spent in the RBCS programme.
“Many were unable to navigate the system without our one to support, so we asked the NMC to write to every university in the UK to show their support clinical supervision and advise universities on claiming practice hours. This has been done and we are absolutely thrilled.”
Ms Bosanquet warned that reflective practice – which is facilitated through clinical supervision – was a “vital component” of nursing and “should not be the first thing to go if workforce pressures increase”.
“It is as important as communication and the fundamentals of nursing so should be included in all undergraduate curricula,” she said.
Professor Stacey added that clinical supervision was a way to address the “theory/practice gap”, to help students translate their learning into the clinical environment, and to also process their experiences from placement.
She said clinical supervision supported student mental health and wellbeing by providing a “safe space for students to speak about the emotional impacts of the work that they're exposed to as well”.
Professor Stacey said there had been a “long-standing misunderstanding of clinical supervision” in nursing, which meant it was not always prioritised, despite nurses needing to show evidence of reflective practice in order to revalidate.
“It's got to happen. It's a safety critical thing that we need to do”
“There's no other professional group that would accept not having a space for their reflective practice,” added Professor Stacey.
“So, it’s got to happen. It’s a safety-critical thing that we need to do. And I think if we can get it right for students, and help them to really value it, and make it almost part of their routine... then that will continue and they’ll continue to ask for it as they go through into registered practice.”
The next steps for the expert group include hosting a webinar for students, educators and relevant national bodies to discuss how clinical supervision can be embedded in pre-registration nursing education.
The group is also planning to publish a position statement on the need for every nurse and midwife to be given protected time for reflective practice.
In a statement for Nursing Times , Professor Walters from the NMC said: “Our standards require professionals to be able to experience, contribute, and develop the skills to lead clinical supervision and team reflection in their future careers.
“To do this, it’s important for them to take part in clinical supervision during their practice placements as part of their learning, and of course, it’s also beneficial for their own health and wellbeing.
“We wanted to reinforce and emphasise this, because the impact of the pandemic means that supportive clinical supervision has never been more important for professionals and students alike.”
One would expect the NMC to have a structure in place that monitors and ensures that practise learning partners have the competence and capability to achieve established standards.

The findings of Nurse.org's 2021 State of Nursing Survey revealed some harsh truths about the profession but also spoke to the strength, perseverance, and passion that nurses have for their work. Nurse.org has relaunched the State of Nursing survey in 2022 with the aim to capture a complete picture of the true state of the profession - from how nurses feel about work, how nurses are being treated, how nurses feel about the future of nursing, nurse's mental wellbeing and what nurses think needs to change within the profession. Take the survey now (it takes less than 10 minutes.)
If the past two years have taught the world anything, it's that nurses are NOT okay. The truth is that despite the 7 pm cheers, the commercials thanking nurses for their dedication and selflessness, and the free food from major retailers – the overwhelming majority of nurses are burnt out, underpaid, overworked, and underappreciated.
With millions of nurses worldwide, Nurse.org wanted to truly understand the current state of nursing and give nurses a voice to share their thoughts, feelings, and apprehensions about the nursing profession. We surveyed nearly 1,500 nurses to find out how they felt about the past year and get to the real reasons behind the nursing shortage. The responses were heartbreaking, but not without hope.

Nurses are struggling. Regardless of practice specialty, age, or state of practice – the answers were all the same. Nurses, NPs, and APRNs are all struggling and need help.
Only 12% of the nurses surveyed are happy where they are and interestingly, 36% would like to stay in their current positions but changes would need to be made for that to happen. Nurses report wanting safe staffing, safer patient ratio assignments, and increased pay in order to stay in their current roles.
Nurses didn’t hold back when discussing their feelings regarding the current state of nursing:
One nurse responded with the following, “I have been an RN for 34 years and in my specialty of nursing for 31 years and I am burned out.”
You’ve likely heard about the nursing shortage, but what does that mean and why is it happening?
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) , the employment of registered nurses is projected to grow 9% from 2020 to 2030. Approximately 194,500 openings for registered nurses are projected each year, on average, over the decade. However, this number was projected prior to the pandemic, and before the mass exodus of bedside clinical nurses. As a result, it’s likely substantially lower than what the real demand for nurses will look like.
The American Nurses Association (ANA) reports that the increased need for nurses spans beyond the current pandemic. In fact, they sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on September 1, 2021, urging the country to declare the current and unsustainable nurse staffing shortage to be a national crisis.
The ANA attributes the needs for thousands of nurses to the following:
However, those stats don’t address some of the systemic issues nurses face every day, particularly in the midst of a pandemic. That’s why we asked nurses why they are really leaving the bedside.
What we heard is that, overwhelmingly, the number one reason nurses want to leave the bedside is because of unsafe staffing ratios. This leads to a never-ending cycle of shortages: nurses face unsafe staffing ratios so they decide to leave the bedside, this results in even fewer nurses available to care for patients, so the downward cycle continues.
Essentially, nurses are dealing with an increased workload with fewer resources. Typically, pre-covid ICU nurses would experience a 1:1 or 2:1 patient-to-nurse ratio. Now ICU nurses throughout the country are experiencing a 3:1 or 4:1 patient-to-nurse ratio which exacerbates staff burnout and unsafe nursing practices.
One nurse reported, “With increased patient census, staffing ratios are very unsafe especially with high acuity patients. Having 4+ critically ill patients not only puts licenses at risk but the patients do not benefit at all. We’re just running around doing tasks, not providing adequate care.”
While a big piece of the puzzle, unsafe staffing issues are, unfortunately, one part of a long list of issues plaguing nurses today.
Nurses are leaving the bedside because of issues like:

70% of nurses still think that nursing is a great career and 64% still think that new nurses should join the profession.
“If you’re a student considering becoming a nurse, please know that you are not walking into a doomed profession. You will never meet anyone who is more determined, more resourceful, or more ready to jump in and lend a helping hand than a nurse."

If you’re a nurse, you know that nursing isn’t just a profession, it’s a calling. It’s devastating to see that so many nurses are suffering in their quest to heal and give care, but it’s heartening to know they are not without hope.
If you’re a nurse, know that your job is simply to put yourself first. If we want to solve the nursing shortage (and we do!), it can't happen without nurses recognizing that they are NOT the problem.
"The problem is not with nurses or nursing; the problem is that nurses have been so busy taking care of others that no one has taken care of them. And we’re here to change that--and by entering the nursing profession, you will be part of the solution too”
– Nurse Alice Benjamin, MSN, APRN, ACNS-BC, FNP-C, CCRN, CEN, CV-BC, Chief Nursing Officer and Correspondent at Nurse.org
The truth is nurses need a lot more to be incentivized to stay practicing clinically at the bedside. Nurses reported needing:
While we may not be able to make this change at an individual level, collectively, we can amplify the voice of nurses and shed some light on the issues that they are facing every day. Together, we have the power to create meaningful, lasting change for current and future nurses. Here's how to get involved:
Sign the pledge seen below and encourage your friends & colleagues to do the same. While you’re at it, print it out and post it in your break room.
Change can’t happen unless we get the word out about what’s really going on. Share what you’ve heard and what you’ve experienced, and encourage others to do the same.
It’s time for elected officials to stand up for nurses. Write them a letter. Call their office. Demand change for nurses. Click here to get the contact information for your local and state Officials.

“If you are a current nurse considering leaving the profession, be assured that you are not alone in your struggles. If all you’ve had the energy for is keeping your head down and getting through your shifts, sleeping, and getting up to do it all over again, know that you are doing enough. It’s not your responsibility to solve the nursing shortage.”
