Overview

This accelerated course aims to prepare existing graduates for an exciting and rewarding career as a Registered Nurse (Adult). You will undertake a range of theory modules across the 2-year program, complemented by clinical practice placements to allow you to develop the skills, knowledge, and experience required by nurses delivering healthcare across a wide range of clinical settings.

During your course, you will gain a wide range of clinical experience during placements with our practice providers, which offers you the opportunity to engage with potential future employers throughout your course, helping you make a seamless transition to your first role as a qualified nurse. Placements will be arranged by the University in conjunction with our practice placement providers.

While on placement, you will work with allocated practice assessors and supervisors, who will support your development in the clinical environment. Your practice placements will typically include opportunities to gain experience in nursing within Acute wards in NHS Trust hospitals, Community nursing, Specialist care areas, and Outpatient departments within the voluntary and private sector healthcare.

During your placements, you will be working 37.5 hours per week and will experience care delivery across the 24-hour spectrum. Thus, you will be expected to work both day and night shifts, and your placement time will include weekend working to ensure maximum opportunity to work alongside your practice assessors and supervisors. By the end of the course, you will need to have completed a minimum of 2300 hours of clinical practice across a range of clinical placement settings and 2300 theory hours to be considered for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

NMC Registered nurses from mental health, learning disability, or children's nursing who are applying to undertake the MSc Adult Nursing course to achieve registration in a different field of nursing can apply for recognition of prior learning that is capable of being mapped to the Standards of proficiency for registered nurses and the university course outcomes to a maximum of 80 credits.
