Adult Nursing (Dispersed Learning route for Powys-based students)

This Adult Nursing BN Dispersed Learning route programmeis available to students domiciled in the Powys region of Wales only.

Adult nurses assess, diagnose, plan, implement and evaluate care supporting the patient's recovery or the ability to live as well as possible with their condition. This exciting new Adult Nursing BN will provide you with the knowledge and skills to successfully graduate as a registered adult nurse, and you will undertake practice placements in community and hospital settings with our partner organisations within Powys, with experiences in a range of adult health care related areas. Career opportunities for nursing are vast and exist in areas including primary care, or secondary care e.g. Emergency Department, specialist medical and surgical areas, or intensive care. Registered nurses’ learning is supported throughout their careers through, initially preceptorship that offers the structured support needed to successfully transition your knowledge into everyday practice, and through continuous professional development.

The one key word that could be used to describe the role of adult registered nurses is diversity – registered nurses who hold adult field registration (and additional registerable qualifications, for example prescribing or teaching) care for the needs of people across the lifespan. You’ll be able to experience that diversity during health and care placements where adult nurses practice which might include:

• Primary care
• Acute sector general and specialist medical and surgical nursing
• Critical care nursing (intensive and high dependency care, emergency department, theatres and recovery)
• Community nursing in the home environment
• Care homes

Adult Nurses have the opportunity to develop their practice upon registration. This can lead to exciting and rewarding careers in roles such as; Advanced Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Specialist Nursing, Consultant Nursing, Ward management, as well as various Community specialisms, Practice Nursing and Research Nursing. The opportunities and choices are endless and offers you a rewarding career with multiple options for supported development.
