Nurses work in hospitals and community services
You may pursue nursing roles in government and private hospitals, community health services and public health programmes. For a teaching post, check the qualifications and experience required by the nursing college recruiting for that role. Hospital roles involve patient care within a healthcare team, while community work includes health education and prevention.
