A recently released Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report revealed an 8% drop in the number of young students expecting to train as nurses.

To get an in-depth look at this situation, WADR spoke to Howard Catton, the Chief Executive Officer of the International Council of Nurses (ICN).
