Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Nursing (Adult) Middlesex University London, UK

Our Pre-registration nursing course aims to produce the graduate nurse who is able to provide safe and effective care, is self-aware and willingly takes responsibility for self and others. Our three field-specific BSc (Hons) pathways reflect the focus on care in either an adult, child and young persons, or mental health settings. You will follow one field-specific undergraduate pathway only.

This course aims to prepare a nurse who is accountable for their own actions and works autonomously, or as an equal partner with a range of other professionals, and in interdisciplinary teams. As a nurse, you will tailor care to the individual but will always consider the social context of care and be able to assess and manage risks in a range of care environments. You will demonstrate warmth and empathy and will develop cultural competence, emotional intelligence and resilience and be able to manage your own personal health and wellbeing and know when and how to access support. You will be committed to working in partnership with service users and colleagues and demonstrate a personal commitment to life-long learning. You will be able to care for people in their own home, in the community or hospital and/or in any health care setting where their needs are supported and managed. You will be able to work effectively in the context of continual change, challenging environments, different models of care delivery, shifting demographics, innovation, and rapidly evolving technologies.

After accessing the BSc Nursing (Adult or Child or Mental Health) course pathway you will develop critical and analytical skills to explore the philosophical basis of nursing practice, debate current issues in nursing and consider the future development of nursing as a profession. Our pre-registration nursing course enables you to:

• Achieve course outcomes and proficiencies in-line with the Nursing and Midwifery Council Professional requirements for entry to the register as a nurse
