Third year student nurses at the University of Stirling had the opportunity to meet with a wide range of different potential employers at a recruitment event organised by the University’s Careers Department.
The student nurses who will qualify as new registrants in Autumn 2023 were from the fields of Adult and Mental Health Nursing. They met with NHS Lanarkshire staff working in the three acute hospitals, perioperative and emergency departments, cottage hospitals, treatment rooms, district nursing teams, prisoner health, mental health and learning disabilities.
A lot of the students are from Lanarkshire or have family living here, so were keen to find out more about local opportunities during this next important step in their journey.
A large and enthusiastic cohort of staff from NHS Lanarkshire attended the afternoon event on Thursday 23 March 2023 at the Main Campus in Stirling. Senior nurses, team leaders, charge nurses and practice education facilitators were all on hand to provide advice, support and friendly faces. Everyone agreed the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and a few nurses who had not considered NHS Lanarkshire left with something to think about and a welcome pack.
