Are you passionate about helping people? Do you want to develop your clinical skills and embark on a thriving career in nursing? Our BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing Practice degree could be for you.

 

Adult nursing involves delivering care to a wide range of patients with various health conditions, from minor injuries to long-term illnesses. We've developed the course in collaboration with regional NHS Trusts and you'll be taught by expert practitioners with first-hand experience of nursing. Your learning will take place both on-campus in our interactive mock hospital wards and alongside our Patient, Carer and Public Involvement (PCPI) participants, and out on placement where you'll gain real-life experience.

 

On successful completion of the Adult Nursing course, you'll be eligible to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as a registered adult nurse.

 

During your first year on the Adult Nursing degree, you'll be introduced to the requirements of becoming a registered adult nurse through studying and completing modules in professional practice and nursing practice. This, combined with learning about physical and human science, will prepare you for your first clinical placements which will be held in local NHS Trusts.

 

50% of your time over the duration of the Adult Nursing course will be in clinical practice under the supervision of registered practitioners, in a range of clinical settings, in and out of hospital. A key aspect of our course is patient involvement and patient centred care, and you'll have regular contact with our Patient, Carer and Public Involvement (PCPI) members throughout the course, who all have experience and expertise as patients or carers.

 

As a nurse, you'll need to demonstrate compassionate and caring approaches to patients and interprofessional working in the healthcare workforce, and the Adult Nursing course provides you with opportunities to learn and work alongside other students and staff from a range of disciplines, as part of the School of Nursing and Health Sciences.
