Uni's pledge to secure nursing grads paid employment
The University of Bedfordshire is the only UK university to guarantee its nursing graduates paid employment '“ that's the pledge from Vice Chancellor Bill Rammell.
The guarantee is for students starting their course in February or September (2018) and will be for a 12 months’ fixed term contract once they graduate.
Mr Rammell said: “There is a national shortage of nurses and the NHS is struggling to provide enough care. We want to encourage more students to train with us for this worthwhile career which is why we are making this pledge.
