    About

    What is a Nurse?

    The role of the nurse is to provide evidence-based, culturally sensitive care in order to assist the individual to lead an independent, healthy lifestyle, overcome ill health or experience a peaceful death. The nurse achieves this through working as part of a professional multidisciplinary team to provide primary healthcare, acute hospital care, community and home and continuing care, based on individual and population health needs across the lifespan.

    Students of nursing learn about caring and the complexities of health and illness through interactive teaching and learning strategies in the classroom and the healthcare environment. Practice (clinical and community) experience provides the student with opportunities to integrate the art and science of nursing and promotes the development of caring relationships with patients/service users and their families/significant others.

    The four-year nursing courses (Children’s and General integrated is 4.5 years) are offered in partnership with seven health service providers. Trinity’s linked health service providers for this course are:
