About Bsc (hons) Adult Nursing in University of Suffolk
Studying Adult Nursing at the University of Suffolk is an excellent choice for someone looking for a fulfilling and rewarding career. You will be made to feel welcome from the first day by friendly, enthusiastic and committed staff. You will be studying in a modern learning environment, being taught by experts.
We will help you to become someone who will make a difference. University of Suffolk nurses are informed, enthusiastic, motivated and competent registered nurses.
Our Pre-Registration Adult Nursing course sits within the School of Health and Sports Science and has the 6 C’s of nursing (Department of Health and National Health Service Commissioning Board, 2012) and the NHS Values (Department of Health, 2015) at its heart. The School of Health and Sports Science is committed to embedding these values into everything we do.
Base sites are used for clinical practice placements and some theoretical sessions. Clinical placements offer the opportunity to gain a variety of practice experiences, typically offering the following areas/specialities:
• Community Nursing
• Acute wards in NHS Trust Hospitals
• Specialist care areas
• Out-patient departments
• Placements in the voluntary and private sector
While in practice you will be allocated practice supervisors and a practice assessor and, as the course is full-time, this equates to 37.5 hours per week. Practice placements are comprised of a variety of shift patterns; long days (12.5 hours), early, late and night shifts. At times you will also be expected to work weekends to ensure that you spend the maximum amount of time with your allocated practice supervisors and a practice assessor.
Career opportunities
On graduation you will be eligible to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). This provides you with an extremely marketable and internationally recognised professional qualification, giving you the opportunity to work at home and abroad.
On qualification, local employment prospects are excellent. Equally, many of our graduate’s secure employment with prestigious trusts such as Addenbrookes, Royal Papworth Hospital, St. Thomas's Hospital and the Royal London Hospital.
Nurses are lifelong learners who seek to develop their skills and interests in a range of specialisms. Our graduates increasingly go on to study at Masters level, benefiting from the University of Suffolk's flexible Continuing Professional Development (CPD) provision.
