Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Adult Nursing (B740)

Students will gain the specialist knowledge and clinical skills needed to become a registered adult nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

The course is highly practical, giving students hands-on experience. Students will spend 50% of their time on placement in hospitals, in the community and in the skills and simulation labs developing valuable hands-on skills. They'll work with patients, carers, clinical mentors and other healthcare professionals. Placement opportunities include medical and surgical wards, oncology, ICU, A&E, coronary care, operating theatres, district nursing, GP practice nursing and integrated community teams.

Students will learn in Kingston's award-winning simulation suite and experience a wide range of realistic environments, including hospital wards and community settings.

The course is taught by experts in A&E, ICU, neurology, cancer and palliative care, community nursing, health visiting and mental health. They will help guide students to practice their skills in a safe and supportive atmosphere.

The NMC commended the range of student engagement activities available on this course. Students can engage with volunteering, fundraising, sports, societies, research and staff/student events. They'll explore concepts of nursing through arts-based education including plays, literature, museum visits, art exhibitions and drama workshops.
