Program Overview

This course will teach you about current research, policy and practice in adult nursing and give you the clinical skills and knowledge you need for entry into the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) professional register as an adult nurse.

You'll stay in one geographical area for all your clinical placements at one of our healthcare providers. We take a local community approach, which gives you experience in hospitals, communities and primary care services.

Our local health community partners are Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster, Chesterfield and Sheffield. There will be an opportunity for you to contact and visit each local community before making a decision about where you'd prefer to spend your placements.

Your placement experiences enable you to form an integrated understanding and appreciation of local health needs and services, as well as gaining insight into future career opportunities in each practice setting.

The course is half practice and half theory. We'll teach you how to apply what you learn to a practical setting and improve your skills in leadership and problem solving.

You'll study six units across your course (two per year):

Foundations in Nursing and Health 1
Foundations in Nursing and Health 2
Developing Nursing Practice: Caring for People with Acute and Short Term Care Needs
Developing Nursing Practice: Caring for People with Long Term and Complex Care Needs
Transitions to Professional Practice 1
Transitions to Professional Practice 2
