Nurses are highly skilled and motivated professionals. Their work is specialist and can involve anything from performing medical procedures, conducting clinical research and creating treatment plans for patients. NHS nurses can choose to work across a wide range of different settings, from hospitals and GP practices to visiting patient’s homes, schools and prison settings too.
The most popular way into a career in nursing is via a nursing degree programme. However, there are other ways into roles with the NHS, such as apprenticeships.
A nursing degree is the UK’s most employable type of degree with 94% of graduates getting a job within six months of finishing their course.
