And almost half could be gone by 2026
Almost half of the Island's nurses could retire by 2026.
A small recruitment pool, and an aging workforce, is posing a 'significant risk' to the number of nurses on the Isle of Man.
Those findings are from a report by the director of nursing which was discussed at the latest Manx Care board meeting.
Nurses can currently retire at 55 meaning 28 per cent of current employees could stop working today.
Sue Waddecar, who presented the report, said it highlighted the need to increase training capacity:
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
