Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Nursing Studies - Adult

Program Description This new and exciting curriculum at Teesside University equips those following the adult nursing degree course with the knowledge and skills required to do this, and to develop a leadership role within the health and social care team.

It enables students to care for adult patients who may have physical, emotional and social care needs, in a range of hospital and community settings. It develops students' emotional intelligence, clinical decision-making and interpersonal skills, and their ability to provide high-quality person-centred compassionate nursing in a safe and caring environment. It is also a major step towards an exciting and rewarding career. To be a nurse and to share people’s healthcare experiences, is sometimes very difficult and emotionally demanding, however it is a privilege. The public places high expectations and levels of trust on nurses, and the course develops practitioners who can meet these expectations. It is hard work and challenging.

Throughout the course, as part of the placement experience, students will be required to participate in a shift pattern rota, and work weekends and undertake night duties.
