Advantages: Nursing in the UK offers diverse specialities (adult, mental health, learning disabilities, children’s nurse, midwife, nursing associate) and various roles (school nurse, prison nurse, health visitor, neonatal nurse, general practice nurse, occupational health nurse).
Steps for Registration:
Fully Trained Nurses:
