Nurses plan and provide medical and nursing care to patients in hospital, at home or in other settings who are suffering from chronic or acute physical or mental ill health.
In order to qualify as a nurse you must study a three to four-year degree course. Graduates who already have a degree in a relevant subject such as life, health, biological or social sciences can qualify via a shortened two-year postgraduate diploma course.
Degree course applications should be made through UCAS; those for shortened postgraduate courses should be made directly to the relevant institutions. Any experience of caring for or working with people (eg in a care home or hospice) can be helpful.
