Nursing is a challenging but rewarding career that'll change lives, including your own. As a nurse, you'll play your part in improving access to healthcare, well-being, social inclusion and quality of life.

Working in a variety of settings, including people's homes, specialist and community services, nurses provide focused health support to people of all ages.

There's also the opportunity to develop and apply your skills working abroad.

Where can it take me?

You'll have exciting career opportunities open to you in several different areas.

Nurses are in demand across the UK across fields such as neurology, epilepsy, acute physical and mental healthcare, as well as specialist services for people with learning disabilities.

You could work in hospitals, in the community for the NHS, in the prison service, or for private or voluntary sector employers.
