The following data has been extracted by the HEA from the most recent First Destination of Graduates Survey for the 2012 graduates. The data refers to Nursing Level 8 graduates from UL, UCD, UCC, TCD, NUIG and St. Angela's. For that cohort the response rate to the survey was 72%. Of the 72% who responded to the survey 61% were employed 9 months after graduation and of that 61%, 21% were employed outside of Ireland. The First Destinations Reports, "What do Graduates do? The Class of 2012" is available on the HEA website www.hea.ie.
