About this course
**September and January intakes.**
**Course overview**: Do you want to make a real difference to patients and their families, now and in the future? This adult nursing degree equips you with the knowledge and skills required to do this and to develop a leadership role within the health and social care team.
This course enables you to care for adult patients who may have physical, emotional and social care needs, in a range of hospital and community settings. It develops your emotional intelligence, clinical decision-making and interpersonal skills, and your ability to provide high-quality person-centred compassionate nursing in a safe and caring environment. It is also a major step towards an exciting and rewarding career. To be a nurse and to share people’s healthcare experiences is sometimes very difficult and emotionally demanding, however, it is a privilege. The public places high expectations and levels of trust on nurses, and the course develops practitioners who can meet these expectations. It is hard work and challenging. Therefore, to work within the healthcare sector it is essential that you are able to demonstrate the core values embedded within the NHS Constitution: working together for patients, respect and dignity, commitment to quality of care, compassion, improving lives and everyone counts.
50% of the learning time is spent engaging in University or self-managed learning activities (theory) and 50% of the time is spent within placement allocations (practice). Throughout the course, as part of the placement experience, you will be required to participate in a shift pattern rota and work weekends and undertake night duties. The range of placements provide diverse and rewarding learning experiences. Placements may not be near to your home or within your local trust. You are expected to travel to different areas. The structure and sequencing of University and placement-based learning means that holidays are fixed - it is not possible to take holidays outside of the set dates.
**After the course**: A diverse range of career opportunities are available within the NHS and private sectors in the UK and overseas. This course has been designed to prepare you for the challenges and demands of contemporary and future nursing, health and social care practice. It also provides a stepping stone from which you can further develop your expertise in the fields of nursing practice, leadership, research, education and consultancy.
