Adult Nursing (Distance Learning) BN (Hons)

As a registered adult nurse, no two days are ever the same. You will be caring for the needs of people across the lifespan – from safeguarding the health of mothers and their babies, to supporting those nearing end of life.<br/><br/>Bangor’s full-time distance learning pathway allows you to study flexibly to become an adult nurse. All you need is a computer, web cam, headset, the Internet, time and availability to travel to clinical placements in Wales. You’ll also have access to cutting-edge technology and campus facilities at both Bangor and Wrexham.<br/><br/>Validated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), our Bachelor of Adult Nursing (BN) prepares you to become a professional, caring and competent nurse, who prioritises patient needs. It blends a variety of clinical placements* within Wales with research-based theory and supported clinical skills training featuring virtual technologies, which enable you to practise skills in a supported environment.<br/><br/>Spending half of your time on placement instils the importance of being part of a wider healthcare team, where you are supported by designated placement tutors to enable you to develop your clinical skills. Your on-site supervisors and tutors will also share their experiences of delivering, leading and shaping adult care. Their backgrounds range from nursing in custody and for the armed forces to general practice, community-based services, acute and specialist services within hospitals, running wards or undertaking internationally renowned research.<br/><br/>From the outset, clinical skills training builds the hands-on skills, confidence and proficiencies needed as a registered nurse. Our simulation-based training equipment, using VR and lifelike manikins, lets you safely examine ‘patients’ and interact in real-time to clinical situations based on real-life examples. This prepares you for the realities of working and responding to such situations, both on placement and future practice.<br/><br/>*Please note that in order to achieve the necessary diversity of placement experience to meet the requirements for clinical competency, you will need to travel to placements across Wales.
