Here's what Bangor University says about its Adult Nursing course.
As a registered adult nurse, no two days are ever the same. You will be caring for the needs of people across the lifespan – from safeguarding the health of mothers and their babies, to supporting those nearing end of life.
Validated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), our Bachelor of Adult Nursing (BN) prepares you to become a professional, caring and competent nurse, who prioritises patient needs. It blends wide-ranging clinical placements* with research-based theory and supported clinical skills training featuring virtual technologies, which enable you to practise skills in a supported environment.
Spending half of your time on placement instils the importance of being part of a wider healthcare team. On placement you are supported by designated placement tutors to enable you to develop your clinical skills. Your on-site supervisors and tutors will also share their experiences of delivering, leading and shaping adult care. Their backgrounds range from nursing in custody and for the armed forces to general practice, community-based services, acute and specialist services within hospitals, running wards or undertaking internationally renowned research.
Through clinical placements*, you will be able (subject to availability) to experience: acute sector nursing (general, specialist and surgical); critical care nursing (intensive and high dependency care, emergency department, theatres and recovery); and community nursing (in the home environment and primary care). You’ll begin taking observations and checking blood pressure, progressing to prepare for and supporting surgical procedures.
From the outset, clinical skills training builds the skills required to become a professional registered nurse. Our simulation-based training equipment, using VR and lifelike manikins, lets you safely examine ‘patients’ and interact in real-time to clinical situations based on real-life examples. This prepares you for the realities of working and responding to such situations, both on placement and future practice.
Considerable financial support is available for tuition fees and can commit to working in Wales for two years on graduation. You could get your tuition fees covered in full through the NHS Wales bursary scheme and claim for a £1,000 bursary contribution to living costs. A wide range of additional support, subject to eligibility, is also available for childcare, parent learners, disabled students and more. Please see our website for more information.
*Please note that in order to achieve the necessary diversity of placement experience to meet the requirements for clinical competency, you will need to travel to placements across Wales.

Bangor University open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
