Can you explain the process for bursary nurse?

Steve Y. asked a question to Tori C.

Can you explain the process for bursary nurse? At uni doing a nursing degree, do I go to army solider assessment centre? Also are QARANC nurses all commissioned?

    Hi Steve,

    Hopefully you've had a chance to have a look at the nursing section of our website https://apply.army.mod.uk/roles/army-medical-service/army-nurse

    Not all QARANC nurses are commissioned, you can choose to join as an officer or as a soldier - if you are unsure which role would suit you don't worry, you will have a chance to discuss this further during the application process and I believe you don't need to make a decision on this until you qualify.

    If you want to join as a Nursing Soldier, you will need to pass the Assessment Centre tests for the Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps.

    If wanting to join as a Nursing Officer, you will need to pass the Army Officer Selection Board and the Arms Selection Board for the Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps for professionally qualified officers.

    I hope that helps,

    Best of luck.
