Program description
Adult nurses are in high demand as healthcare delivery rapidly changes. Flexibility in collaboration with other health and social care experts is crucial. Our adult nursing degree teaches you how to provide care for individuals in a range of settings, addressing their requirements for both physical and mental health throughout their lives.
You can practice nursing in our facilities in lifelike virtual settings. You can be tending to a patient in a nursing home or attending to an accident on the streets. After that, you'll actually do it.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has praised the course for its emphasis on public health and cooperation with placement organizations. Additionally, there are possibilities to pursue a degree in nursing while studying abroad at renowned institutions like the University of Pennsylvania.
As an adult RN, you can work in many healthcare settings. Our alumni work in the NHS and PVI industry. Cancer care units, ERs, and surgical and medical wards. Some work in nursing homes, hospices, and districts. Others are military nurses. One works on cross-border nursing therapy for World Health Organisation in Denmark.
