Nurse

Nurses are the main point of contact for patients and their families, and play a vital role in teams of 

professional and medical staff. They work with (among others) doctors, social workers and therapists,

and attend to a patient's comfort and emotional wellbeing as well as their medical needs. Typical

duties of the job include:

assessing and planning nursing care requirements;

writing care plans and records;

providing pre and post operation care;

monitoring a patient's condition

carrying out routine investigations and care procedures, such as administering medication, injections

and intravenous infusions, and taking patient samples, pulses, temperatures and blood pressures;

dealing with emergencies;

supervising junior staff;

organising workloads;

tutoring student nurses;

providing advice and promoting good health;

providing information, emotional support and reassurance to patients and relatives.

Shiftwork to provide 24 hour care is a common requirement. Some travel may be necessary between

hospitals or trusts' different units. However, many nurses are increasingly based in the community

with a focus on preventative treatment in order to avoid any unnecessary stress for the patient.

Opportunities exist for working abroad and taking career breaks. These may be used to contribute to

the continuing professional development (CPD) which is a requirement of registration with the Nursing

and Midwifery Council (NMC).

Vacancies appear online, in newspapers, NHS Trusts' jobs lists and publications such as Nursing

Qualifications and training required

Nurses are required to study a three or four-year degree in nursing, with their time divided between

formal teaching and practical experience. At present, an alternative route involves studying for a

three-year diploma in nursing. However, these are to be phased out from 2011 onwards and from

September 2013 only nursing degrees will be available. Graduates in a relevant subject such as life,

health, biological or social sciences can qualify via a shortened two-year postgraduate diploma

course.

Previous care work is not essential, but demonstrates commitment and is a useful opportunity to

experience the role and talk to practiced nurses.

 All nurses working in the UK must be registered with the NMC. Most Higher Education Institutions

pass the details of nursing students onto the NMC in the year they are to graduate, and students are

then sent a form which they must complete and return with a registration fee. Registration must becompleted within five years of completing a nursing course. In order to maintain registration, nurses

must complete a minimum of five days or 35 hours' learning activity over three years, although more

is common. Many nurses choose to specialise in a particular clinical field, such as public health,

cancer care or theatre and recovery.

Key skills for adult nurses

Good interpersonal skills are vital for nurses, who have to communicate with numerous other medical

and care professinals as well as being a key source of information and emotional support for patients.

Other valuable attributes are:

Verbal/written communication skills

Empathy and sensitivity to patients' needs and concerns

Observation skills

Organisational skills

Managerial and leadership skills

 Attention to detail

Good health and fitness

Good hygiene.
