It is quite clear in PREP that community nurses will still be able to practice, whether their current qualification was at certificate or diploma level. However, future community nurse courses will be at degree level and many nurses who are currently practising are concerned that they too should have a degree. Sarah Forester provides brief guidance for community nurses who are considering further academic study.
