42 year old female looking for change in career to nursing. Can I get nurse qualified with the army as a reservist?

Tori C.

Regimental Medical Officer

Hello,

As far as I am aware to join as a reservist nurse you need to be a qualified nurse and registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. You can join as a student nurse but you would fill a different role until you complete your qualification and gain registration.

I don't think you can receive funding to train as a nurse with the reserves.

If you need any more clarification it would be best to speak to the recruiting team directly, there are various ways to contact them and this page should help https://apply.army.mod.uk/get-in-touch
