Your nursing degree: an international ticket to see the world

摘要

It is worth noting, however, that some higher education institutions (HEIs) are still offering postgraduate diploma programmes leading to registration and that these still attract a government-funded bursary for 2017 (Health Education England, 2017). These monumental decisions from both the Nursing and Midwifery Council and Department of Health have lead to decreased morale among those in the profession, with nurses often asking themselves, 'What shall I do next in my career?' Along with the decision for new nurses to be educated to degree level, existing registered nurses without degrees are being encouraged to continue their professional development and are often supported by their trusts to 'top up' their qualification to degree level.This movement has provided nurses with the key to open doors that were previously closed to them in terms of education leading to migration. Many countries require migrating nurses to possess registration with a degree qualification arid so UK-educated nurses with a degree now have the ability to work in many different areas of the world.
