Question
To ask the Scottish Government what it anticipates the drop-out rate will be for nursing undergraduates in (a) 2022, (b) 2023, (c) 2024 and (d) 2025.
Answer
Attrition rates vary each year across all degree programmes, it is therefore not possible to predict attrition rates for future cohorts. However, we have observed that course completion rates for pre-registration nursing programmes have been steadily improving year-on-year, and we anticipate that this trend will continue.
