WHAT ABOUTAFTER UNI?

As a graduate and qualified staff nurse in your chosen field of nursing practice, you will be able to apply for a job in either an acute setting such as a hospital or in the community.

CAREER LINKS

You will work alongside a practice supervisor and assessor in the clinical practice areas where you will experience a wide variety of care-giving settings.
You will be expected to work the same shift patterns as your practice supervisors (including weekends and night duty) and will need to be able to travel to and from clinical placements.
You will spend half of your time at the University and the other half working in a range of clinical areas including the NHS, Private, Independent and Voluntary organisations.
