Acute Hospital Experience!
Unfortunately we do not have any start dates at present, as two courses are already in progress. We will update this page and social media pages once we have more information available.
This course is specifically designed to ensure that Nurse on Call recruits are the best and most suitable people to meet the needs of our client Hospitals. First and foremost; we are looking for people who are suitable to our needs. Secondly we are looking for people who have the empathy, communication skills and shared experiences that we require all Carers to have in order to relate to patients. The most suitable people will be given first preference for the course.
Please note that competition for places is very keen, therefore we reserve the right to decide who is suitable and who is not.
Break down of the course is as follows;
