Is a nursing degree worth it?
These figures come from an illustrative seed catalogue until HMRC LEO ingest completes — treat medians as directional, not official. Nursing graduates in this dataset show 5-year median earnings £30,555 — closer to the middle of the pack for similar cohorts. Employment at ~15 months averages 89% (strong graduate employment rates), and NSS satisfaction averages 79% (satisfaction varies by university). Whether a nursing degree is "worth it" depends on your career aim, entry grades, and which university you choose — not the subject label alone.
