Nursing (General)

Our innovative degree course is taught by experienced lecturers in a friendly and supportive environment with state-of-the art facilities. It prepares you to become a Registered General Nurse who can work collaboratively to successfully manage the complex healthcare needs of the adult population. You will study the theory and practice of nursing in a fully integrated way, establishing a strong foundation for your future career. Your lectures, workshops, clinical skills laboratories, and tutorials are delivered on our Belfield campus. Practice placements will enhance your learning and consolidate your knowledge and develop your nursing skills. Professional Clinical Experience Practice Placements, which form a significant part of the course are completed primarily in the St. Vincent’s Healthcare Group or the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, and in numerous other clinical sites. The practice placement locations are centres of excellence, where you will work with multidisciplinary teams to provide high quality, patient-centred care. Students can be placed in any site on one or multiple occasions during their programme to enable them to achieve the necessary clinical learning outcomes.
