This Intellectual Disability Nursing program offers outstanding prospects to cultivate expertise and competencies essential for professional practice in this field, fostering independent, critical thinking and analytical abilities. You'll learn to provide cutting-edge nursing care grounded in the latest evidence-based practices.
Delivered in collaboration with Cork's COPE Foundation, this four-year full-time degree enables graduates to register with the Nursing & Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI), the profession's regulatory authority. Upon qualification, you'll be prepared to embark on your career as a certified Intellectual Disability Nurse across diverse healthcare environments.
The program's primary objective is to enhance your personal, academic and professional growth to fulfill the responsibilities of a qualified Intellectual Disability Nurse. Your studies will combine theoretical coursework with clinical placements each year. Practical training involves 35-hour weekly supervised clinical rotations in hospitals, community settings and other healthcare facilities during specified periods annually.
Academic components encompass nursing studies alongside biological and social sciences, featuring both core modules (shared with other nursing/midwifery specialties) and specialized courses exclusive to Intellectual Disability Nursing students.
