What employers look forFrom the Steward / Nurse guide
Captains hire registered nurses with real clinical experience, usually two years or more. Emergency department, ICU, paramedic-adjacent and theatre backgrounds count for most, because at sea you are dealing with trauma and acute illness far from a hospital. Nurses from the UK, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa are common. You still need to be a good stew. A nurse who cannot press a shirt or serve a plated lunch will struggle to get a second contract.
