Adult Nursing (Distance Learning) BN (Hons)

Bangor University

This exciting BN Adult Nursing (Distance Learning) programme will provide you with the knowledge and skills to successfully graduate as a registered adult nurse, and you will undertake practice placements in community and hospital settings with our partner organisations within Wales, with experiences in a range of adult health care related areas. Career opportunities for nursing are vast and exist in areas including primary care, or secondary care e.g. Emergency Department, specialist medical and surgical areas, or intensive care. Registered nurses learning is supported throughout their careers through, initially preceptorship that offers the structured support needed to successfully transition your knowledge into everyday practice, and through continuous professional development.

The one key word that could be used to describe the role of adult 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. Youll be able to experience that diversity during placements in clinical areas where adult nurses practice which might include:

• Primary Care
• 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
• Care homes
