Nursing is an incredibly rewarding career and one that will always be needed.

In order to help you decide if this career is for you, have a look at this guide to what to expect
when applying and training in nursing.

You can apply for nursing courses through the UCAS website.

The entry requirements will depend on what university you apply for. There aren’t officially any
national minimum academic entry requirements. However, you will need at least 5 GCSE’s of
grade C or above and 2 A-levels for any nursing course. Many courses will require higher grades
but you will need to check with the university itself.

Places on nursing courses are limited, so you need to have a think about what you can offer
that’s unique.

You can gain experience through voluntary employment in a number of areas. Try to pick an
area you are interested in, there are so many opportunities to volunteer that you don’t need to
limit yourself to something that you don’t enjoy. Generally speaking, if you are doing an activity
involving looking after others and using interpersonal skills; the course tutor will want to hear
about it. If you know which area of nursing you want to go in to, try to focus your volunteering
around this.

Volunteering abroad shows your independence as well as your dedication. There are plenty of
opportunities to do this although you are likely to have to pay your own costs.

Many nursing students started off working in care homes or in hospitals as health care assistants.
By working in these settings, particularly if working with registered nurses, you can gain insight
in to what the job entails and decide if it is what you want to do.

The experience you do have may be more relevant than you realise. And you probably do have
skills you can transfer to nursing.
If you have worked since leaving college then tell them about the parts of your job most relevant
to a career working with people. Admission tutors will want to know if you have shown
leadership skills, worked well in a team, coped under pressure or simply shown an interest in
working with people.

Outside of work or college, what do you do in your spare time? Activities can show your ability
to work well in a team.

If you are turned down for a course this does not mean that you are not cut out for nursing.

Volunteering and working in relevant areas not only look good on your application, they will
also help you to decide if nursing is for you.
