Registered Nurse Degree Apprenticeship

Give care, advice and support to people who are sick, injured or disabled 

Working in healthcare, you’ll provide care, support and advice to people with a wide range of physical, mental, cognitive or behavioural health needs. Registered nurses can work in hospitals, community services, care settings, mental health services, public health, social care or people’s homes. During the registered nurse degree apprenticeship, you’ll develop the knowledge and practical skills needed to assess patients, plan and deliver care, give health advice, support families and work as part of a wider healthcare team. Depending on your chosen field, you may focus on adult nursing, children’s nursing, mental health nursing or learning disability nursing. In your day-to-day work, you could monitor patients, give medicines, record observations, support treatment plans, promote health and wellbeing, respond to changing needs and help people manage long-term conditions. You’ll need to communicate clearly, act with compassion, follow professional standards and make safe decisions, sometimes in challenging or emotional situations. This role suits someone who is caring, resilient, responsible and interested in science, health and helping people.
