Abstract
More than twenty per cent of today’s nursing students will leave their training before qualifying. Understanding and Preventing Student Attrition in Pre-registration Nursing Education explores this challenging issue in nursing education, helping faculty, mentors and healthcare organisations recognise the causes of nursing student dropout, develop effective strategies for prevention, and provide better support to student nurses. With its emphasis on prevention and support, this practical text not only addresses the problem of attrition but provides solutions to help strengthen the future nursing workforce.
