Course Overview

This 18-month full-time route sees apprentices join our Nursing Science (Adult) BSc program partway through year two to complete the remaining year two and three modules. Through a concept-based curriculum where learning will reflect real-life experiences, apprentices will be introduced to the key concepts of nursing, which are supported by the Nursing and Midwifery Councils (NMC) €˜Future Nurse standards. The program will prepare apprentices to become a Registered Nurse who is capable to prioritize people, practice effectively and promote professionalism. Studying within the requirements of the new NMC standards means that apprentices will have the ability to demonstrate critical thinking skills in relation to complex healthcare issues and the health and wellbeing of adult patients. During the apprenticeship, apprentices will develop comprehensive nursing abilities to assess, plan, implement and evaluate individualized holistic, evidence-based nursing care. The learning journey will be underpinned by developing skills and understanding the importance of evidence-based practice to enable apprentices to understand the application of research to practice. This program will equip apprentices to be curious, creative, and collaborative in care. It will allow them compassion to thrive within an evidence-based approach and it will enable them to make a genuine impact on the health and wellbeing of babies, children, young people, and their families.
