What makes Adult Nursing at Worcester special?

Our exciting and transformational Adult Nursing degree has been developed collaboratively with practice partners, service users and students. At its heart is the recognition that nursing is an evolving profession with individuals working as part of today’s interdisciplinary healthcare teams in a wide range of settings.

You will learn how to make a positive impact on the lives of adults with a diverse range of health and dependency needs, including physical and emotional care requirements, particularly addressing the needs of the ageing population.

We train our Adult Nursing students to be articulate, flexible, decision makers able to promote health and well-being, prioritise effective care and implement evidence-based nursing practice. They will work collaboratively with inter-professional teams, service users and their families, respecting their rights, choices and wishes.

Course content

Course content

What will you study and when?

You will study a combination of core, field of practice and practice learning modules. The exact modules you will study will depend upon your chosen field of practice.

Our courses are informed by research and current developments in the discipline and by feedback from students, external examiners and employers. Modules do therefore change periodically in the interests of keeping the course relevant and reflecting best practice. The most up-to-date information will be available to you once you have accepted a place and registered for the course.

Year 1 - Adult Nursing

First Year Module in Focus:

  • Principles of adult nursing (15 credits)

Principles of adult nursing is the first adult-specific nursing module, and centres around the underlying fundamental aspects and values of adult nursing.

We will be exploring what it means to deliver truly person-centred care, drawing on formal models and theoretical concepts celebrating patient diversity and cultural awareness. Nursing assessment tools will be introduced and applied to a range of clinical case studies. We will also be helping you develop your identity as an adult nurse, through an examination of the concept of the multidisciplinary team and the nurse's role within this. Finally, we will be considering the principles of safeguarding in clinical nursing practice, and how to employ these in order to keep our patients safe from harm.

The module builds upon your knowledge, skills and professional values demonstrated in the first year.

 

The aim of the module is to integrate students’ understanding of a range of adult health conditions across a variety of care settings and explore the stages of care planning.

 

Students will identify patients’ physical, social, and psychological needs and select appropriate assessment strategies to ensure comprehensive and holistic nursing practice. This will be enhanced by exploring evidence in contemporary, professional literature to demonstrate critical decision-making.

 

A key emphasis will be understanding the nursing role in carrying out safe, effective patient assessment using a person-centred approach.

The module focuses on leading and managing nursing care for people of all ages, from different backgrounds, cultures and beliefs, across a diverse range of health and care settings.  Content covered highlights the importance of accountability, motivation, prioritisation, delegation and supervision.

Teaching in this module includes the Nurse’s role during major incidents and how to learn from adverse events. This module engages with the role of Nurses as an active and equal member of an inter-disciplinary team and their contributions to enhancing service delivery to ensure high-quality care provision. 

  • Essential Skills and Nursing Practice 3

This module builds on the previous Essential Skills and Nursing Practice modules, providing students with the opportunity to become increasingly independent within a real-world practice setting.

The module content is complemented by interactive, scenario-based learning in the simulation suite, replicating hospital and community settings. Student nurses are mainly taught in field specific sessions, to ensure content relates to their specialist field of practice.

 

Teaching Staff

You will be taught by a teaching team whose expertise and knowledge are closely matched to the content of the modules on our nursing degree. The team is made up primarily of Registered Nurses from different backgrounds, with expertise in their chosen field of practice/area of expertise. Teaching is also supported by the inter-disciplinary and multi-agency team, when specialist knowledge is required. Contributions by service users, carers and their families, provides opportunity for them to share their lived experiences, with service users as appropriate having a role in the assessment process.

Having completed her studies and now working as a nurse, Tolu plans to progress with her career and continue to build her skills. “A career in nursing opens up several doors and so I can’t wait to see what the future holds,” she said.

Tolu said she chose the University of Worcester because she wanted a change of environment and to be out of her comfort zone. “I liked the quiet family-oriented vibe Worcester offered which was something I was looking for,” she added. “Being in Worcester helped me hone-in on my independence and learn how to make friends from different backgrounds in a new, unfamiliar, but exciting environment.”

Becky Shuck

Student Becky Shuck went from working as a beauty therapist five years ago to volunteering to work on the NHS frontline during the Covid-19 pandemic. Now she is celebrating her graduation after completing a Nursing degree. After witnessing the care of nurses first-hand, she knew this was the career for her, and she is now working full-time as a nurse.

She said: “It feels surreal to be graduating, I still have to pinch myself that I finished my degree and I'm working as a registered nurse. The three years have gone so quickly and the support during my degree has been exceptional.  It has broadened my skills, including those other than just nursing, such as being a course representative, representing fellow students’ interests. Going from a beauty therapist to a nurse is something I would never have done if I didn't have the support from the University.  I will always be thankful and grateful for all the opportunities the University has given me.”

Nursing student Becky, of Longbridge, Birmingham, was one of around 450 University of Worcester students who put themselves forward to work on the frontline last spring, including those studying to be nurses, midwives, paramedics and physiotherapists.

Becky now hopes to work in major trauma in the future and has even considered doing a Master’s.

“I still cannot believe that I achieved a First Class Honours,” said Amber. “Studying and working as a student nurse throughout the pandemic was definitely challenging. I was thrilled when I received my grades because then I knew that all the hard work had paid off!”

Amber discovered that she was dyslexic a year before she started university. "Learning how to live with dyslexia was difficult for me, but I was able to overcome the challenges with the help of the University of Worcester staff. They were excellent at supporting and encouraging me throughout the three years. They directed me to a study skills tutor and I received extra time for my exams. The help I received did not only aid my studies, it also gave me the tools to manage my dyslexia after my course. Receiving a First Class degree was a great life accomplishment and I believe anyone can succeed if they put their mind to it.”

Rachel Bray

Rachel Bray

Rachel Bray achieved her life-long ambition to become a Nurse and is now part of the Evesham Neighbourhood Team, providing care in the community.

“It was really hard work, but I absolutely loved it,” said Rachel. “It was such a brilliant course.  The tutors were really supportive; there were some tough times that I had to deal with, but they were brilliant. To someone else thinking about a Nursing career, I would just say go for it, it’s never too late, and also take it a day at a time.”

Rachel has now been accepted to do a Master’s in Evidence Based Healthcare at Oxford University alongside her work. 

Karen Burgoyne

Karen Burgoyne

Karen Burgoyne, a mature student from Ayr, achieved a First-Class Honours degree in Nursing during the pandemic. Karen has now secured a role as a Band 5 staff nurse in the Accident and Emergency department at Ayr Hospital. 

“Studying during the Covid-19 pandemic was by no means easy and has been a real eye opener of an experience but also an empowering one,” said Karen. She feels that the experience provided her with "the resilience and confidence ... to adapt and work under challenging circumstances."

Karen was diagnosed with dyslexia during her studies and was able to access additional support. “I started to retain information better, my academic writing improved and with the drive and determination this gave me, I started to get better grades,” she said, “I feel so proud that I did it. I finally achieved my dream job as a nurse and look forward to a future in nursing and the experiences and possibilities that will arise from this amazing role.”

Teaching and assessment

Teaching and assessment

The University places emphasis on enabling students to develop the independent learning capabilities that will equip you for lifelong learning and future employment, as well as academic achievement.  A mixture of independent study, teaching and academic support from Student Services and Library Services, and also the personal academic tutoring system enables you to reflect on progress and build up a profile of skills, achievements and experiences that will help you to flourish and be successful. Study skills are embedded into the early stages of the course to help promote student achievement and confidence with learning and assessment.

Teaching

You will be taught through a combination of interactive workshops, lectures and seminars. Case studies (developed in partnership with service users) support a scenario-based approach to learning which facilitates small group activities and discussions, leading to shared and individual problem-solving and decision-making. A campus-based approach, complemented by appropriate use of both synchronous and asynchronous online learning including virtual learning environment collaborate, flipped classroom and e-learning packages, which promote personalised engagement with learning.

You will meet with your personal academic tutor 4 times in year one and 3 times in year 2 and 3.

At the core of the nursing programme is learning in a diverse range of clinical placements, learning in the real world which facilitates work-readiness, personal and professional development. Mandatory practice learning equates to 50% of the programme credit for each year. Your practice learning is mapped across the programme, gradually increasing as you gain in confidence, by year 3 you will complete over 55% of the programme in practice learning environments, supporting your transition from student to Registered Nurse. Your placements run in blocks across the year, with experiences normally in a minimum of 2 practice placements each year, in a setting appropriate to your chosen field of practice. The use of ‘spokes’ (visits to alternative placement settings) to maximise learning opportunities offered by diverse and non-traditional settings, offer exposure to opportunities to care for people from across the life-span, with mental and physical health needs and learning disabilities. Enhanced practice learning days, rooted in clinical practice, provide opportunities to consolidate learning, provide opportunity for reflection and inter-professional learning, including added value learning experiences and seeking additional support as necessary to promote inclusive learning in the practice setting.

While on placement you are supernumerary and are supported by a practice supervisor and assessed by a practice assessor, both having undergone appropriate preparation for their roles. Further support is provided by the inter-professional team, a nominated person (usually a member of the practice education team) and an academic assessor allocated for each part of the programme. You will have access to the internet and library resources whilst on placement.

You will be provided with opportunity to complete skills and simulated learning activities. All skills and simulation activities involve a range of people including students, peers, service users/carers, practitioners, technicians, academics and includes role play, ‘hands on’ practical skills sessions using a range of simulation manikins, video recording and playback. Formative feedback on performance is provided to facilitate safe and effective support for essential skills development, in state of the art simulation suites, replicating hospital and community practice learning environments. This learning is particularly important in year one, with 20 days allocated to prepare you for your practice learning experiences. This is reduced in year 2 and 3 to 10 days per year.

You will have opportunity to complete a UK or international elective placement, during Year 3, semester one. This can be either a 4-week or a 12-week experience, helping with the globalization of the programme and employability.

Contact time

In a typical week, a student will have around 15-18 contact hours of teaching during theory weeks. The precise contact hours will depend on the year of study as there is normally slightly less contact time in the final year in order to do more independent study. This allows for the completion of an independent studies project or dissertation, a sustained piece of individual work, which critically and ethically engages with professional practice, relevant to the students’ chosen field of practice.

Typically, class contact time per day will be structured around:

  • 2 hours lead lecture
  • 4 hours of seminar, workshop or tutorials

Nursing is campus-based, with approximately 85% of theory delivered on campus. Human anatomy and physiology for person-centred care, a year one, 15 credit module is delivered entirely online, supported by an e-learning package.

Whilst in placement, you will be expected to attend placement for 37.5 hours per week, experiencing the full range of hours expected of Registered Nurses. All practice learning hours, including skills and simulated learning must be formally recorded and signed for.

Independent self-study

In addition to the contact time, you are expected to undertake around 19.5-22.5 hours of personal self-study per week during theory weeks. Typically, this will involve locating and reading resources, including preparing for assessments.

Independent learning is supported by a range of excellent learning facilities, including The Hive and library resources, the virtual learning environment, and extensive electronic learning resources. 

Duration

3 years full-time.

45-week timetabled year (50% theory and 50% practice learning), plus 7 weeks pre-planned holiday each year

Timetables

Timetables are normally available one month before registration. Please note that whilst we try to be as student-friendly as possible, scheduled teaching can take place on any day of the week; and some classes can be scheduled in the evenings.

Assessment

The course provides opportunities to test understanding and learning informally through the completion of practice or ‘formative’ assignments.

Each module has one or more formal or ‘summative’ assessments which are graded and count towards the overall module grade, all summative assessments must achieve a pass grade. Assessment methods include written examinations and a range of coursework assessments such as essays, reports, portfolios, performance, presentations and a final year independent studies project.

The precise assessment requirements for an individual student in an academic year will vary according to your chosen field of practice, but a typical formal summative assessment pattern for each year of the course is:

Year 1

  • Scenario-based essay
  • Poster or leaflet with supporting paper
  • Group presentation
  • Unseen exam
  • Reflective assignment (visual or written)
  • Assessment of practice learning using the e-Practice Assessment Document, with evidence of medicines calculation test at 80%

Year 2

  • Report
  • Care plan plus supporting paper or individual presentation
  • Unseen, scenario-based exam
  • Essay
  • Critically reflective assignment (visual or written)
  • Assessment of practice learning using the e-Practice Assessment Document, with evidence of medicines calculation test at 90%

Year 3

  • Essay
  • Individual presentation
  • Dissertation
  • Critically reflective assignment (visual or written)
  • Assessment of practice learning using the e-Practice Assessment Document, with evidence of medicines calculation test at 100%
  • Professional discussion

You will receive feedback on practice assessments and on formal assessments undertaken by coursework. Feedback on examination performance is available upon request from the module leader. Feedback is intended to support learning and you are encouraged to discuss it with personal academic tutors and module tutors as appropriate.

We aim to provide you with feedback on formal course work assessments within 20 working days of hand-in.
