Am I still eligible for nursing masters programs if my work experience as a staff nurse was not in a hospital setting but as a travel nurse in community areas in UK for a Master's?

Yes, you can be eligible for nursing master's programs in the UK with community-based travel nurse experience. UK universities generally recognize a variety of healthcare backgrounds, including roles outside hospitals, as valid professional experience.

However, entry requirements - such as minimum work hours and the type of experience accepted - vary by university and program. Some may specify recent clinical practice or a minimum number of hours in a "service user" context, which often includes community healthcare.

If you need help matching your experience to specific university criteria, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
