Course Summary
**Course information**
- Studying the MSc Nursing programme will enable graduate students to practice effectively within a professional values base in a variety of health and social care settings: emphasising compassion, communication and dignity in care. You’ll gain an advanced understanding, knowledge and the skills required in becoming a first level qualified nurse with a sound portfolio of clinical and interpersonal skills, preparing you for your preferred career pathway.
- Successful completion of this programme will lead to a dual academic and professional qualification:
- Academic - MSc Pre-Registration Nursing (180 credits at Level 7)
- Professional - Registered Nurse (Children and Young People) - registered with the NMC (Nursing & Midwifery Council)
**Further information**
- You'll need to be open-minded and motivated to help children and their families understand their condition. Whether it's assisting a child to overcome major surgery or helping a child/teenager deal with an eating disorder, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you've made a real difference to their lives.
- Nursing is open to all those who want to care for others. Your age, experience and qualifications will have their part to play in deciding how you wish to begin your nursing career. You'll soon realise you are entering a profession in which only you set the limits to your potential. For clinical placement experiences, you will be allocated to one of several NHS Trusts within the Central Lancashire region as your base and from there, gain experience in a range of placement areas.
- Opportunity for an overseas clinical placement experience is available, subject to conditions. The development of clinical nursing skills takes place alongside skills such as communication, problem solving and reflection. These are key elements of the nursing programme which will aid the development of a critical, analytical and reflective practitioner. Development of these skills will enable you to progress onto career pathways within the healthcare sector, or to continue to postgraduate level study.
- As part of the course you will have the opportunity to hear about the experiences of service users, carers, patients and public members via our community engagement and service user support groups (Comensus).
