Working bank level 2,3,4 as a student nurse

I've just finished my first year as a student nurse and have been working on bank as a band 2 hca. What I would like to know is a what point do I get reclassified as band 3 due to my increased skillset? Does it vary by trust or is there a recognised point where all student nurses get 'bumped up a band. I have been led to believe it happens when we progress to the next year but is it actually when we start year 2 or when we have passed the progression boards or do we need to do something?

It's very much trust dependent.
Where I work, when I was a student nurse, if you worked on bank you were band 2 whether you were 1st year not started placement or finished 3rd year waiting on your registration.
Currently, where I work, student nurses are still paid band 2 on bank regardless of where they are in their training. They only get paid band 3, maybe band 4, if they start a full time contract after qualifying but before they get their registration.
Some places will pay students slightly higher per higher year group but not sure how they get the pay rise.

I’m a bank HCA (not a student nurse yet though, I’m starting in September) and here all of the bank HCAs are band 2 and all bank nurses (which you can only become 6 months after getting your PIN) are band 5.

So what is your issue with this like....

Student nurses will always be on band 2 with HCA Bank nursing positions. Sometimes you need to wait for a few months before you can apply for Bank nursing but you can still work as normal HCA nurses or auxiliary nurses. Bank nursing is more suitable for students because of them able to work around there study's etc.

Newly qualified nurses who has their registration from NMC can work as band 5 Band Bank nurses due to them being qualified.

How did you apply and were you able to work during uni?
If so did you also have to take off during placement periods

Working as a student nurse = 0 hour contract as a bank HCA
No I didn't "have" to tke time off for placements, I worked around placement shifts and uni timetableing as and when feasable without burning myself out.
I applied to be a bank HCA before uni but others got in as bank HCAs because they'd already done X amount of time as a student

Ohhh. So I'm in my first year of Uni and I wasnt sure if i would be able to apply this early in onto the yr as a BAND 2 so I also had that query too

It completely depends on the trust policy on taking on students as bank HCAs, how much experience you need, etc. Contact the trust's temporary staffing (bank) office.
