"summary": "Your journey to becoming a confident, compassionate, and future focused nurse starts here. \n\nThe BSc (Hons) Nursing Course has been designed to enable you to meet the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Standards of Proficiency for Registered Nurses. When you successfully complete the course, you will be eligible for entry onto the NMC register in one of the four fields of nursing: Adult, Children, Learning Disabilities or Mental Health. \n\nThe course integrates evidence-informed education and high-quality practice learning environments to shape nurses who will lead, advocate, and innovate within diverse health and social care environments whilst meeting the complex needs of people, families, and communities across the lifespan. \n\nThe course will equip you with the practical skills, knowledge and experience you need to become a confident professional nurse. Your time is evenly balanced between campus-based learning and practice learning experiences, ensuring strong confident integration of theory to practice.\n\nAdult nursing encompasses a wide range of knowledge and nursing skill acquisition to care for adult patients and service users in a broad range of clinical environments. As an adult nurse you will be required to assess, plan, evaluate and implement care for the complex needs of patients across acute hospital, community-based and home-based settings. Being a registered adult nurse opens career opportunities to work locally and nationally as well as globally. Specialities within adult nursing include respiratory, surgical, oncology, trauma and orthopaedic, emergency medicine and critical care.\n\n**What's covered in this course?**\n\n**Practice Learning Experiences**\n\nYour practice learning experiences will be based in a variety of settings such as in the community; primary care; social care settings; hospital or in home environments. Practice learning environments will be in the main in the Midlands and at locations where you can be exposed to the learning required. \n\nYour professional practice modules will run across each year of your course and in parallel to your theoretical modules to support strong integration and application of theory to practice. You will be prepared for practice learning to ensure you feel confident when entering each stage of the course.\n\n**Teaching and Learning**\n\nYou will experience excellent, innovative, learning, teaching and assessment experiences using technology to enhance your learning, through lectures, seminars and group work. Practical skills sessions and simulation will underpin your learning, supporting you to regularly apply theoretical concepts in a variety of different ways. Engaging with practice partners and people who use services throughout the course is also integral to our approach. \n\n**Foundation Year**\n\nThe Foundation Year option gives you extra time and support to help you build your knowledge, skills and confidence before starting a full degree. It is designed to prepare you for a range of nursing courses, not one particular BSc degree, so you will study a broad range of subjects to prepare you to continue on to successful BSc level study. You'll develop a range of practical and analytical skills that will prepare you for a challenging and rewarding career in nursing.\n\nUpon completion of your Foundation Year, if your chosen course is regulated by a professional body such as the Nursing and Midwifery Council, you will be required to successfully complete the University’s selection process for the specific programme which will include an interview in order to proceed onto year one of the full degree programme. Entry onto year one of the degree programme will also be subject to a satisfactory DBS and Occupational Health Assessment and spaces available on the course.",
