Registered Nurse
Registered nurses assess patients, manage their medications and treatments, and coordinate the care each person receives across a shift.
What else you need

This catalogue groups awards: verify the chosen provider, programme and intake; the family-level link is not confirmation that every offering is approved.

In demand
Pay is the median for everyone in the job, and “In demand” means the job is on the national shortage list.
