Hundreds of nurses feel let down after being told by the Nursing and Midwifery Council that they had not completed the 2,300 placement hours required more than two years after graduating. Around 350 nurse graduates from the University of Brighton have been told that they could be up to 160 hours short of necessary supervised practice hours, despite already working as nurses. It affects nurses who graduated from 2019 onwards and follows an NMC review of courses at the university earlier this year, where it was identified that student supervision standards were not applied correctly to reflection hours.
