Nursing Recruitment

Return to Practice

  • Thinking of returning to nursing? Are you an adult or pediatrics trained nurse whose registration has lapsed?
  • Do you miss the challenges and rewards of the nursing profession?
  • Would you like to regain your PIN and rejoin the NMC register?

Your skills and experience are needed more than ever before, and it is easier than you might think. Watch this video to hear from those who have returned to practice.

You might have been out of practice for a while due to various reasons and challenges faced by Health and Social Care organisations. These could include lack of flexibility, rotational posts, health and wellbeing challenges, difficulty in challenging behaviors, speaking up, and lack of diversity and inclusion in the team. We are committed to addressing these issues and are open to discussing them with you.

At RUH (Royal United Hospital) Trust, we offer extensive support to help you return to nursing.

RUH is a wonderful place to work, with plenty of outdoor space for restful breaks, a dedicated staff restaurant, ample on-site parking, a staff swimming pool, great support for continuing professional development, health and wellbeing activities, a robust preceptorship programme, freedom to speak up support, and trauma risk management.

You will need to complete 450 hours of placement if you take this route to return and fulfill the academic requirement as required by NMC. There is a return to practice module which you will need to complete online or both online and face-to-face depending on the University that will be running the course. This may be the University of West of England or University of Plymouth.
