Nursing (Adult)

Why take this course? This course focuses on developing competent, skilled Adult Nurses and has been designed to meet the requirements of the pre-registration curriculum in partnership with the local National Health Service Trusts. Work-based learning is a key component and you will develop practical skills in safe, simulated teaching environments, before being supervised in using these skills in practice in one of our placement providers. Find out more about our placement partners. The BN (Hons) course will prepare students to be eligible to apply for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as safe, competent and knowledgeable practitioners by enabling them to gain knowledge, skills and experience in the healthcare environment and related fields, specific to adult nursing. In particular, there will be an emphasis on teaching and learning that promotes evidence informed patient care; in addition the advanced skills necessary for care of patients with acute and/or long term conditions, in a variety of settings. Our February intake offers you the opportunity of a break between studying and commencing the course providing you with time to undertake independent travel and to gain further work experience or paid work to support your studies. On completion of the programme you would be eligible to seek registration with the NMC as a registered nurse in January and to pursue employment at this busy time.
