Exploring where staff morale is the highest, housing is most affordable, NHS pressure is the lightest and many more factors contributing to the happiness of our hardworking nurses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We identified the following data points as core indicators of the well-being and happiness of nurses working within the NHS. These included the latest published regional vacancy rates, surveyed scores of staff feeling \u201c<em>recognised and rewarded<\/em>\u201d, morale levels, rate of employee absences, nurse-to-patient ratio, local property affordability, and the number of staff mental health hubs in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By ranking all regions individually for each data point and calculating an overall score, we can confirm that South West England is statistically the best place to be a nurse in England today. Second place goes to the North East &amp; Yorkshire whilst London is in the bottom position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The South West has the highest number of staff reporting they feel &#8220;recognised and rewarded&#8221; and the highest level of morale across all regions. Sickness absence rates are low, as is the local nurse-to-patient ratio. Plus, they have the third-best vacancy rate in the country.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>North East &amp; Yorkshire are a close second, driven by property prices being the most affordable in the country. The nurse-to-patient ratio is low, as are vacancy rates, meaning that the workplace is less likely to be understaffed, and nurses are less likely to feel overwhelmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-heading\" id=\"comment\" style=\"background-color:#05113a\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-white-color\">The South West\u2019s Regional Chief Nurse, Sue Doheny says:&nbsp;<\/mark><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cIt\u2019s great to have recognition of the South West as the best region of England to be a nurse.
