Nursing

Discover – What can I do with my degree?

You could begin by researching a career directly related to your nursing degree such as adult, children’s, learning disability or mental health nurse. However, you can also explore careers that don’t directly relate to your degree. Did you know that over 80% of graduate employers will recruit from any degree discipline?

Develop – Developing skills and experience

If you already have a clear career idea, the next step will be to develop your skills and experience to build your confidence and increase your knowledge. You probably already have some relevant experience but you might want to consider part-time work or volunteering to increase your chances of gaining graduate employment after completing your degree. It’s also a great way to try-out settings to see what you enjoy and if it’s a good fit for you!
