SAMPLE ANSWER
The pie chart gives information about the proportion of nursing graduates in terms of their destination in the UK in 2009 and the accompanying table illustrates where those graduates ended up within health sector.
Overall, the vast majority of the graduates chose to work in the health sector. The most popular career choice among them was becoming a hospital nurse, followed by graduates who opted to become midwives and community nurses, but these choices were selected by a smaller proportion of graduates. The other options within this sector were chosen by only a minority of graduates.
Post-graduation options for nursing students were disproportionately distributed among 5 choices. 84% of them ended up working in the health sector, whereas just 8% decided to combine work and study. The shares of the other options were even smaller: 4% remained unemployed, and those who pursued higher education and selected ‘other’ options constituted the same 2% each.
Similar pattern can be observed in the career options of students in the health sector. Hospital nursing emerged as the most popular, attracting nearly 73% of graduates. Naturally, there was a considerable disparity with the next most popular career paths: 12.4% of graduates decided to work as midwives and just over 10% chose to pursue a career as a community nurse. Paramedic roles accounted for 1.3% of graduates, and mental nursing represented a mere 0.3%. The remaining 2.7% of graduates ventured into unspecified career options.
