NHS Trust Nursing Internships

Interested in pursuing Nursing as a career but unsure where to start, or how to get relevant experience?

Nursing is a rewarding career choice and at Northumbria we are committed to providing excellent and innovative nursing education. We are pleased to announce we have worked closely with the new Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) ‘Future Nurse’ standards to offer our new Nursing Science Registered Nurse (Adult) MSc to help those from any undergraduate background kick-start their journey in becoming a healthcare professional.

As part of this course, there is a standard entry requirement for 500 hours care experience and 200 hours theoretical experience, totalling 700 hours Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Most applicants from a non-healthcare related background will not meet these requirements, which is why Northumbria University has teamed up with Gateshead, Newcastle and Northumbria NHS Trusts to offer 20 paid internships to help you develop the necessary skills required before the course begins in January 2022.

Please note: The internship roles will be advertised by the NHS Trust on the NHS job website. You can contact Barry Hill (barry.hill@northumbria.ac.uk) for details.
