Nursing is one of the most rewarding careers you can choose. As a nurse specialising in adult care, you will deliver care to people who need immediate help and support in hospitals or community settings. Promoting good health and educating people to care for themselves, or members of their family or community, is a key focus for adult nurses, whether their patients are in hospital, care homes or being nursed at home. Registered Nurses provide professional care for patients in many settings and your experiences within the course will prepare you for registration. Throughout the course, you will work with a range of adults. Some will have physical problems you can see, while others will have mental health problems that call for excellent listening skills as much as your clinical knowledge. The curriculum addresses National Benchmarks and is split between 50% theoretical study - including time spent in small groups with other students whove chosen the same field of nursing as you - and 50% practical clinical experience.
