'I was burnt out and felt I was failing the families and children I was caring for'.
More than 40,000 have walked away from the NHS in the past year - one in nine of the workforce, an analysis by the Nuffield Trust think tank for the BBC revealed.
He said a workforce strategy would be published soon, setting out how the NHS will continue to recruit and retain nurses in the coming years.But the Nuffield Trust said unless something was done to stem the rise in nurses leaving, the government could struggle to hit its target. "Nurses are integral to the functioning of the health service - it should be an urgent wake-up call," he added.
"I became a number in a machine. I would never leave on time and found myself often crying in the loo or car on the way home."I think a lot of NHS staff feel unhappy." She added the NHS was reaching a "tipping point" when it comes to the workforce, and the shortage of staff threatened to hamper the ability of the health service to tackle backlogs in treatment.To understand more about what is happening within the workforce, the BBC asked the Nuffield Trust to look at data which tracks when NHS staff drop out of permanent employment.
