Why Nursing is Important
Nursing is a highly qualified and professional vocational career that is valued throughout the world.
Nurses do much more than perform medical tasks. As a nurse, you will make a real difference to someone’s life. You can offer hope to people, sometimes during the worst time of their lives. Nurses often counsel patients and their families after a devastating diagnosis, celebrate good news and become trusted confidantes.
Working and Learning in the UK
Many nurses wish to work in the UK, specifically for the NHS. Two routes to working in the UK are:
- Take your nursing qualification at a UK university. There are a number of universities in the UK where international students can study nursing. These degrees give NMC accreditation, so you are free to apply for any jobs.
Normal entry requirements: IELTS 6.5 + country specific academic qualifications.
- If you are already qualified as a nurse in your own country, you can apply for jobs in the UK, but there are certain conditions:
You must have IELTs 7
You must be registered with the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC). Registering with the NMC is a 2 stage process, that we will support you with. Stage 1 is computer based, and we will practice test questions. Part 2 is practical. We will give you lots of information and familiarise you with scenarios. We will do everything we can to support you in passing the test of competency.
Our English and Employability Skills course will:
