Students will learn the theory and evidence-based principles of nursing to help people prevent and overcome illness and enable them to take ownership of their own health and well-being. Students will learn the practice of nursing by working with registered nurses in clinical areas who act as mentors, assisting students to apply their knowledge and skills to real-life situations.

 

Students will receive both theoretical and practical classes in Clinical Skills Labs, in preparation for their clinical placements. General nursing placements account for 50% of this course and take place in many clinical settings both in acute hospital and community settings.

 

This 4-year full-time degree course is offered in partnership with the Health Service Executive, RCSI Hospital Group and other health service providers (HSPs) from both the public and private healthcare sectors.
