The Return to Practice course run at the University of Plymouth enables previously registered nurses to come back into the workforce in as little as 16 weeks. We are looking for Care Homes with nursing who would be interested in providing a placement for Return to Practice students who are required by the NMC to undertake 450 hours of supervised and assessed clinical practice. This can be part time or full time and the student could be in a paid HCA role with protected learning or supernumerary.
The potential benefit for your service is a registered nurse familiar with your care home, ready to join your team and there is funding of up to £1,500 to support this placement. You would be supported throughout by the University and the Clinical Placement Expansion team.
If you would like to learn more please contact either Adele Kane, Return to Practice Programme Lead adele.kane@plymouth.ac.uk or Jo Sutton, Clinical Placement Expansion Project Worker jsutton4@nhs.net.
