Our program equips you to provide comprehensive care for adults facing acute or chronic illnesses across diverse healthcare environments. You'll develop expertise in health promotion, illness prevention, and adult nursing care, becoming prepared to assume a crucial role in patient wellbeing. Through collaboration with healthcare teams, patients, and families, you'll acquire the essential knowledge, abilities, and clinical experience that have enabled thousands of our alumni to succeed as registered nurses.
You'll graduate with a distinctive qualification from one of the pioneering institutions implementing the updated Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) educational standards. Your clinical and communication skills will be honed through hands-on practice in real healthcare settings and our supervised Clinical Skills Resource Centre (CSRC). Choose to study at our Plymouth campus, Knowledge Spa in Truro, or our newly established Exeter School of Nursing.
Adult nursing professionals deliver specialized care to patients of all adult age groups managing both sudden and persistent health conditions. They focus on patient-centered care, establishing strong therapeutic relationships while playing an instrumental role in maintaining health and preventing disease.
These nurses collaborate extensively with medical teams, patients, and relatives to facilitate recovery through research-backed practices.
Working across various medical conditions, adult nurses strive to enhance patients' health outcomes and overall wellbeing whenever achievable.
Full-time program duration: 3 years (includes clinical placements).
