Will I have to have a nursing qualification to go into Hospice nursing?


Will I have to have a nursing qualification to go into Hospice nursing?

yes then you will have to do additional training in bereavement and dying

If you want to do any form of actual nursing you will need to be a qualified nurse. However if you just want to work in a hospice or home you can apply for a carers position. The home or hospice will then probably send you on NVQ courses in carework.
