Consider a Career as a Nurse
England’s Chief Nurse has called on anyone looking for a ‘lifechanging career’ to consider becoming a nurse, as recent statistics show that more than 60% of people are considering a career change over the next 12 months. Nursing degrees offer reliable employment prospects in every part of the country, with 94% of graduates finding jobs within six months after qualifying.
The ‘We are the NHS’ campaign will highlight the amount of NHS nursing positions available, featuring real life patients sharing their stories of how nurses from across the NHS have helped them on their journey to recovery.
The renewed drive comes following a new survey stating 80 percent of people say nurses have made a positive impact in their life. In addition to increased investment for degrees and placements, NHS recruitment campaigns have prompted a wave of applicants to healthcare degrees over the last few years, with more undergraduate nurses than before the pandemic and data showing that nursing applications have risen by more than a 25%, from 40,770 to 52,150, since pre pandemic times.
