Course summary
This BSc (Hons) Nursing (Nursing Associate pathway) (Adult) degree programme offers a fantastic opportunity to progress your FdSc Nursing Associate qualification to a BSc Adult Nursing degree. The course is delivered full-time over an 18-month period. You must have the essential prerequisite entry qualifications to join this programme at the middle point of Level 5. You will then complete the remaining 6 months of Level 5 modules, followed by the full year of Level 6 modules.
On this course, you will experience the provision of contemporary 24-hour health service provision, caring for patients across all aspects of the health/ill health continuum, and within multiple environments. You will be provided with the exposure and education in nursing, within both the University and placement environments, to become a confident, compassionate, evidence based, and person-centred practitioner to evaluate, lead and coordinate patient care.
50% of your studies will be spent in various hospital and/or community settings within the NHS and independent sector, where you will spend time in well-supported environments. Within each placement you will be working alongside qualified nurse practice assessors and supervisors as per the NMC (2018) Standards for Student Supervision and Assessment. Over the full 18months of the programme, you will be expected to complete a minimum of 1150 hours within various placement environments in your supernumerary student nurse role.
You will also spend 50% of your time attending and studying for your module credits at the University. This will additionally enable you to gain the minimum of 1150 theory hours required to register your qualification with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
On successful completion of all the elements of this course, you will have a recognised degree qualification that leads to registration as a qualified nurse with the NMC.
