Careers

The RCN careers service provides confidential advice and guidance on:

  • writing application forms and CVs
  • interview skills
  • career planning
  • continuing professional development.

An adviser can help you work through self-assessment exercises to plan your career more effectively.

A range of career factsheets, covering career options in nursing, plus helpful hints and tips on applying for jobs are also available on the factsheets web page.

Visit the RCN Learning Zone for interactive learning materials on CVs, interview skills and career development.

A monthly RCN Bulletin is delivered to each member with job vacancies for nursing staff.
