Adult Nursing

Description

It has been specifically designed to give you a solid grounding in the theoretical and professional skills that are needed in modern nursing today in order for graduates to be able to deliver high-quality evidence-based care. Graduating successfully from the course will enable you to apply for registration with the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC).

Working with, and caring for, the wide variety of client groups requires a rage of specialist knowledge and the course is designed so that you develop the core skills and competencies needed. You also develop lifelong learning skills alongside other core transferable skills such as clinical decision making, team working, problem solving and communication.

A key element of nurse education concerns an ability to work alongside a broad range of health and social care professionals. Throughout the course you will study alongside others undertaking health related degrees delivered by BU. This includes students studying other fields of nursing, social work, midwifery, occupational therapy and physiotherapy.
