This unique course is an exciting opportunity to transform the lives of individuals and communities by becoming a fully qualified adult nurse. You’ll consider the changing nature of health, illness and recovery – as well as the relationship between healthcare professionals and service users. You’ll graduate as a reflective, competent and employable professional. How you learn On this course you’ll learn from enthusiastic academic staff who have a variety of clinical expertise and experience. You’ll apply your theoretical study directly to the practice of nursing on real-world healthcare challenges. You’ll develop a strong professional identity and confidence. Nurses are an integral part of a multidisciplinary team. In some modules you’ll learn and collaborate with students from other health and social care courses. This approach will help you to deliver person-centred care – with an understanding of how other professionals contribute to the person's journey through health and social care services. Applied learning Work placements You’ll apply the theory you study to practice-based learning experiences. Here you’ll develop critical and ethical approaches to your practice – preparing you to become a life-long, competent professional. The experiences you’re provided with are compulsory to achieve the course’s practice-based learning outcomes. These experiences will help you build your skills, confidence, creativity, resilience, integrity, and curiosity. They’ll take place in different practice-based learning environments – reflecting the range of ways services are currently delivered. This might include simulated learning and virtual placements, alongside real-world experience of services delivered face to face to service users. We’ll ensure the practice-based learning element of your course complies with the requirements of the Professional and Statutory Regulatory Body (PSRB) which governs the adult nursing profession. So by the end of your course, you’ll have the opportunity to show that you meet the requirements to register as an adult nurse.
