Completing the “Nurses back to healthcare” training and returning to professional work: a qualitative study of nurses’ experiences

The "Nurses Back to Healthcare" training programme is essential in reintegrating nurses into the profession. Tailoring the programme to meet individual learning needs and adopting flexible approaches can significantly enhance its effectiveness. Participants with less professional experience and longer gaps since their studies require increased practice time, support in adapting to technological developments, and emotional support to address feelings of insecurity. Facilitating their transition back into the workforce also involves guiding them towards appropriate employment opportunities and offering flexible working conditions that consider their personal needs and prior experience.
