Because not everyone who applies is suitable. I wanted to be a footballer, why didn't they recruit me?
-
It's not because they're not up to the course but because the govt limits the number of degree places then wonders why we have a shortage!
-
Maybe they should bring back training nurses the old way and not needing a degree, sometimes in house training is a lot better

@KeithBe1 or why do nurses need a university degree. Love and care is probably more important than a degree -
It's a technician level role. entry used to be via apprenticeship, why not now?
-
what a degree
-
Student nurse needed 5 O levels in 1981 to start training age 16, qualified by 21. Now need A levels & degree before even start real nursing
-
Would not have even got interview at Scots Nursing college I went to in 80s without 3 good Highers & waiting list despite 4 intakes annually

Real cause is RCN who demanded nursing treated as "profession" rather than a vocation. Suspect would hate re-introduction of "student Nurse"

The other thing is, why is it not a profession if it's not accessed via a degree? My job here - man with oily rag. In Germany - profession!

The green line - 15-24 year olds declining by 100,000 per annum - they're pretty clued up our childrenpic.twitter.com/JGKcZ2FYYj

I suspect you are misinterpreting the birthrate impact on this cohort. Birthrate was low/dropping until about 2003 then it rose rapidly.
-
that might explain some of the 15-24 year old decline - it's projected by Eurostat to turn positive again by 2021pic.twitter.com/3U00LacKnb
