Graduating as a Registered Nurse in 2026?
If you are graduating from a UK university in 2026 as an Adult, Child, or Dual Registered Mental Health Nurse, we've got you!
Join the Royal Devon team, where you'll be supported and nurtured in your first nursing role, as part of our community nursing team or in our two acute hospitals.
Your final year at university is a busy one, from completing your studies, preparing for exams, and being on placements - we get it! That's why we've created our recruitment support sessions, making applying as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
The in-person and online support sessions will guide you through the recruitment process, giving you the tools you need to secure your first role as a registered professional!
There's no need to register, just turn up on the day!
Interview preparation support
Our interview support sessions are to help you prepare and inform you about what to expect from your interview.
We will guide you through what happens on the day, and how to approach answering questions.

Preceptorship
What is preceptorship?
Preceptorship is a structured programme in your first 12 months as a registered professional, supporting you with your transition from a student to a registered nurse.
As part of your preceptorship, you'll receive protected time to study and be assigned a preceptor to help guide you. Your preceptorship portfolio will also count towards degree or master's credits if you wish to continue your education, and we will provide you with career development support to help you plan for the future.
In addition to your preceptorship programme, you’ll receive a Royal Devon induction and join our Buddy scheme, providing you extra support to navigate the organisation.
