Course info

Our Nursing with Registered Nurse (Adult) course will enable you to develop the core skills, knowledge, attitudes and behaviours that are essential when you’re caring for adults who are experiencing health difficulties. You’ll gain the skills required to practice adult nursing effectively and professionally in a variety of health and social care settings, with an emphasis on compassion, communication and dignity in care. Along the way you’ll develop an appreciation of the importance of comprehensive person-centred assessment, care planning, care delivery, and inter-professional working. You’ll explore how health services are organised and delivered while gaining vital work experience. Half your time will be spent working within a professional practice, where you’ll develop a strong portfolio of clinical and interpersonal skills, preparing you for the next stage of your adult nursing career. Our well-established adult nursing programmes produce highly employable graduates. An impressive 98% of our adult nursing undergraduates have gone onto employment or further study within six months (HESA 2018). Our Nursing programme prepares you for a future career as a registered nurse who’s equipped with the skills, knowledge and compassion required to deliver outstanding care to adults experiencing acute and complex health issues.

I like Uclan for the location, so convenient on the M65. Its also central to the local trust hospitals for placement. The friends I've made in my group and in my cohort are great. Must shout out to Nathan who runs the cafeteria at Burnley , he does a great job.
