What grades do you need to be a nurse UK........
You'll usually need the following -

•

4 or 5 GCSEs at grades 9 to 4 (A* to C), or equivalent, including English, maths and science.

•

2 or 3 A levels, including a science, or a level 3 diploma or access to higher education in health, science or nursing.

Just make sure you are meeting the required entry requirements grades for your chosen university and then see what happens 😉 😉.

Looking at what you grades are it's looks like you should be okay with looking at the minimum requirement grades for nursing.

Good luck with your whole process and keep your fingers crossed after you put your application in.
Don't be scared about your grades 😔 😔 😔 as long as you have met the minimum requirements for your chosen university then go for it.

You are welcome 🤗 🤗 🤗.

Glad it lightened your day up.
Awe sounds good if you think back to when I was doing interviews for universities.

I have done two promotions since I qualified as a midwife as I'm currently now a band 7 senior charge nurse midwife but it comes with lots and lots of extra responsibilities compared to a newly qualified nurse/ midwife has.

You are welcome for the advise.
No problem trying to help out 🙂 🙂 😃
If you work hard as the job and you think you have the quantities to climb the career ladder then don't be afraid of doing it.

i am so sorry for keeping on bothering you, but i was wondering if you could explain the whole bands situation and how to move up the bands as i have heard some newly graduates go up to band 6 by getting an occupation in a specialist ward etc but i have also heard that you have to start as a band 5 nurse/midwife.

Hi apologies for late reply 😔 😔

When you qualify as a nurse you'll be a band 5 - you'll start at the bottom of the pay scale and each year you'll increase your pay inclinents to you reach top of band 5, this is usually about 2-3 years. Then you can apply for a band 6 nurse and you do the same thing again until you reach top of band 6 etc.

Below is how the pay scale works for NHS nursing staff with how you paid in the banding scaling.

I definitely disagree with a newly qualified band 5 nurse getting band 6 straight away because they have not got any experience yet in the job.

Sometimes I think what happens is that once you complete your perceptorship period ( usually a year after qualifying) then the hospital trust may have a policy that they are automatically given band 6 position once they proved that they are capable of the job.

This definitely doesn't happen where I'm as all of the staff must do a minimum of one year before you can apply for a job position of band 6 ( we have some jobs advertised stating that you must have one year minimum or you may require 3 years minimum qualifying period.
