Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Nursing Studies (Adult) (B700)

Adult nursing is a dynamic, rewarding and highly skilled caring and compassionate career. Students will develop diverse skills ranging from the delivery of health education for individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds to delivering complex care for people with multiple acute or long term conditions.

This course aims to develop nurses who are able to deliver person-centred, safe and effective care, working with other professions and agencies in an ever-changing and complex healthcare environment. Students will experience a variety of clinical placements and will learn using a diverse range of techniques and approaches. They will undertake clinical practice for 50% of the course, in community and hospital placements as well as independent and voluntary sector experience. During placements, students are involved in nursing activities including providing care for a range of patients relevant to their chosen nursing pathway.

GCU's learning environment provides innovative, flexible and effective opportunities to develop understanding and nursing skills, using methods such as a blend of online and face-to-face teaching and a state-of-the-art inter-professional simulation suite.
