Nurses are the foundation to our healthcare system. From birth to death, during our lifetime we will all need care at some point. For a patient, having an empathetic and confident nurse can make this experience as seamless and reassuring as possible.
If you are seeking a career change where your actions can profoundly impact individuals during their most vulnerable moments, then our two-year fast-track MSc (Hons) Adult Nursing degree could be for you. Upon successful completion of the degree, you’ll be eligible to register with the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC).
Becoming an Adult Nurse is a deeply personal and rewarding choice. As a qualified nurse you’ll have the opportunity to grow and take on a range of specialties and roles, providing opportunities for career advancement.
Our MSc in pre-registration Adult Nursing is designed for high achieving graduates, recognising that you’ll bring transferable academic skills, healthcare experience and valuable life experience to your studies.
From emergency care, district nursing, operating theatres, surgical wards to caring for vulnerable and older people to developing leadership skills, no day is the same. You’ll be continually learning and evolving in your role.
This fast-track two-year degree programme integrates postgraduate academic study alongside practice-based learning. It is underpinned by a strong collaboration between the University, service users (experts by experience) and our NHS practice partners, helping you to gain the knowledge and skills you need for your future career in adult nursing. Our team of experienced and dedicated lecturers have a collective wealth of knowledge from working in a range of health care and clinical environments across the NHS and private sector.
Being a nurse is a profession that can see you working worldwide, and the impact and contribution of nurses is recognised and needed both nationally and internationally.
We’ll help develop, encourage and nurture you throughout your studies. You’ll be supported in gaining the skills and knowledge you need to meet and manage the holistic, person-centred care needs of individuals across the lifespan in relation to the health-illness spectrum.
You’ll learn how to perform a range of nursing skills with proficiency, based on contemporary knowledge and the understanding of best practice. As well as this you’ll be taught how to assess and review mental, physical, cognitive, behavioural, spiritual and social needs to identify the priorities and requirements for evidence-based nursing interventions and support.
From being able to refer to policies and procedures, to pharmacology, treating pressure ulcers and assessing and making the right care-decisions for a patient, you’ll understand how to work as critically reflective, resilient practitioners, with an ability to learn from experience and solve problems.
The curriculum includes core and field specific learning and teaching. This allows students from adult and mental health nursing courses to be taught and learn together, so you can benefit from their individual experiences, share insights and offer competing perspectives. You’ll be able to demonstrate your awareness of, and competence in working within, the multi-disciplinary teams within practice environments.
This innovative curriculum reflects Buckinghamshire New University’s core values of creating a learning environment that is inclusive, challenging and promotes collaboration, professionalism, and confidence in our students.
Upon graduation you’ll be a compassionate, proficient, confident, and digitally able nurses, who is able to adopt a biopsychosocial, person-centred approach, working autonomously and accountably, within the integrated care system. You’ll also be able to apply for your NMC registration, meaning you’ll then be able to practice as a qualified nurse.
