This adult nursing degree will allow you entry to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Register as a qualified nurse. Modern nursing is an exciting profession where nurses seek to care for the patient holistically. The adult nursing degree combines theory and practice in an innovative way, to focus on the care of people across a wide range of healthcare settings. The field of adult nursing covers all aspects of caring for adolescents and adults with a range of health issues and challenges. During your nurse training, you’ll be based in our state-of-the-art Clinical Simulation Centre and will also undertake work placements in a range of settings to ensure you have experience from a variety of areas within nursing. Supervised placements are an integral part of the adult nursing degree. These are in our partner health boards, as well as in the community and independent sector. You will have practice opportunities across a wide range of healthcare settings that include community, hospital, palliative care, nursing homes and GP surgeries, developing key skills that will enhance your employability. When you are working with your mentor in clinical practice, you have to work the shift patterns of the clinical area to which you are allocated. There is also an opportunity to study and practice abroad in a number of countries during your second year. This will enable you to gain an understanding of different health care systems. Depending on experience and training, graduates of the adult nursing degree can reach the highest levels of the NHS. Once qualified, many adult nurses take extra courses to specialise in areas such as cancer care, women’s health, emergency department, critical care, practice nursing, health visiting or school nursing. With this adult nursing degree, you can also work abroad. Registered nurses from the UK are highly regarded throughout the world.
