Course summary

Available for September or January intakes.

Course overview

Make a positive difference to patients with physical, emotional and social care needs, in hospital and community settings. You develop emotional intelligence, clinical decision-making and interpersonal skills, and your ability to provide high-quality person-centred compassionate nursing in a safe and caring environment.

This course reflects the changing and challenging nature of providing healthcare in the 21st century and the evolving and diverse role of the adult nurse. Leadership is embedded throughout the course, recognising the crucial role nurses play in moving practice forward. You focus on mental health and cognitive issues impacting health. Benefit from shared learning across all four fields of practice (adult, child, mental health and learning disabilities nursing) throughout the course.

You spend 50% of the course in theory settings and 50% in practice settings in hospital and community settings benefitting from the quality of our partnerships with placement providers and service users. On placement you participate in a shift pattern rota, and work weekends and undertake night duties.

On graduation you will be eligible for registration with the regulator of Nursing, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as an adult nurse. This can lead to a range of exciting and rewarding career opportunities as an adult nurse.

Please note 100% attendance is expected during this course.
