This Adult Nursing BN starts in : September 2023 and March 2024 (2023 Entry) and September 2024 and March 2025 (2024 Entry).
Adult nurses assess, diagnose, plan, implement and evaluate care supporting the patient’s recovery or the ability to live as well as possible with their condition. On this Adult Nursing BN degree, theoretical modules provide you with the knowledge and clinical skills to undertake clinical placements in community and hospital settings, with experiences in a range of adult related areas. Career opportunities exist in areas including A&E, specialist medical and surgical areas, intensive care, palliative care and primary care settings.
The one key word that could be used to describe the role of adult field registered nurses is diversity – registered nurses who hold adult field registration (and additional registerable qualifications, for example prescribing or teaching) care for the needs of people across the lifespan, including safeguarding the health of mother and baby. You’ll be able to experience that diversity during placements in clinical areas where adult nurses practice which might include:
Acute sector general and specialist medical and surgical nursing
Critical care nursing (intensive and high dependency care, emergency department, theatres and recovery)
Community nursing in the home environment and primary care.
Adult Nurses have the opportunity to develop their practice upon qualification. This can lead to careers such as; Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Specialist Nursing, Consultant Nursing, Ward (ITU,CCU and HDU) as well as various Community specialisms, Practice Nursing and Research Nursing. The opportunity and choice is endless and offers you a rewarding career with multiple options for supported development.
Bangor accepts applications for nursing courses throughout the year, while places are still available. As some pathways do become full, we recommend applications are submitted as soon as possible.
Elements of the course will be available through the medium of Welsh and you’ll be supported to access the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol incentives. There will also be opportunities to experience bilingual practice in some parts of the region. For more information on the School’s bilingual provision click here.
