Practice Nurse Jobs

It was my personal journey from the ward to the GPs surgery that led to me setting up Practice Nurse Training. I loved working in the acute setting but I hit a wall especially around the shift work when I started a new family. I was desperate for a fresh challenge but couldn't believe how hard it was. When I did finally make it I was then amazed to see things from the other side. GP surgeries really struggle to recruit good practice nurses. I knew I had to do something about this. I also knew that a normal academic type course spread over months wasn't what was needed . A nurse making the move needed something quick and affordable. They needed intensive inputs on some new areas of nursing from experts. They needed to hear the reality on the ground from a current experienced nurse. They needed to view real life videos of consultations. They needed to physically get their hands on equipment refreshing or learning new skill such as venepuncture, speculum insertion, wound management, injection technique.  Finally I wanted the RCN on board to provide accreditation to the course to give credibility and standing with GPs. The result is Practice Nurse Training. Hundreds of nurses have now been through the courses and the first thing they say is "I feel so much more confident." This makes all the difference at a job interview.

Hundreds of nurses have now been through our three day intensive RCN accredited course and many have gone on to get practice nurse jobs or jobs in this field of work - (school immunisation nurse, treatment room nurse) Read the testimonials or if you'd prefer I can link you in with somebody who has successfully made the move. Obviously if you are up against a highly experienced high flying practice nurse you might struggle. However if your applying against other nurses with limited experience you will stand head and shoulders above them. Your in a position to hit the ground running. A disproportionate number of the existing practice nurse community are coming towards retirement so the time has never been better to make the move!
