Course summary

This course is an entry route for NMC registered Nursing Associates to join our existing cohort of students on the BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing degree course.

We’ve designed our course around the core values of the NHS constitution so that you understand what’s required in caring for and supporting people. Our aim is to make sure we prepare you for the challenges you may face and develop the expertise you’ll need to become a leader in nursing.

You’ll spend time on clinical placements or simulated practice in a variety of settings. These may include an operating theatre, accident and emergency, community settings and many more.

You’ll practice clinical skills and techniques, such as how to give emergency care in our Clinical Simulation Suites. Some of the topics you’ll explore in lectures include how poverty impacts health, leading and managing in healthcare and the ethics of being an adult nurse in today’s society.
