Program Description

Your time at the University  

You'll spend 50% of your time here. You’ll attend lectures, building your knowledge on things like providing a holistic assessment care plan and considering a child’s or young person’s mental, emotional and physical wellbeing. You can then share your knowledge in smaller groups during the seminars and workshops. You will be asked to look at case studies, either individually or in a small group. Plus, you can put what you have learnt into practise by using your skills in our clinical simulation centres.  

Your time on a practice placement   

You’ll spend 50% of your time in a hospital or community setting. You could be working with NHS Trusts in Hertfordshire or in London. You'll partner with qualified, experienced nurses who will act as your supervisor.Practice placements are organised primarily within neighbouring NHS Trusts in Hertfordshire and North London, but also in Bedfordshire and Essex and in other settings including the private and voluntary sectors. There is the opportunity to learn with and from people in the community and in hospitals where nursing is experienced. The placements are wide and varied, emphasising the chosen field of practice - Children's Nursing. This may include caring for neonates through to adolescents: children and young people with learning disabilities or mental health problems and occasionally adults. A number of NHS Trusts support student nurses in their practice by providing placements in local health service trusts, social services, local educational institutions, private health care facilities, and the voluntary sector. North London, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire provide this support in a varying capacity dependent on the programme undertaken and the chosen field of Nursing. A Student-led experience is offered at the end of the second year which gives you the opportunity to gain clinical experience elsewhere in the UK, e.g. closer to home or in specialised regional or national centre of excellence, your choice.  In your first year, we'll introduce you to the profession, giving you a solid foundation to build on. You'll look at how a child and young person grows and develops and the impact of illness. Remember you will be working with children, young people and their families. You will learn how to build trust and how to communicate with them.  In your second year, you'll build on what you learnt in first year.  You'll explore an ill child’s journey from showing clinical signs through to diagnosis; you’ll look at ways of providing care and management until recovery or end of life care. You’ll also study one of the following modules:
  • Caring for Children and Young People with Cancer      
  • Caring for Children and Young People in ‘Out of Hospital' Settings
  • Caring for the Neonate and Family  
  • Supporting Healthcare Transitions for Children and Young People
In your third year, you’ll explore strategies to enhance service outcomes for children and young people. You’ll also be introduced to the work of leadership and management roles. You are now fully equipped to provide quality care to children and young people.

Your main campus is College Lane  

This is where the creative arts, science and health-related subjects are based. This means you’ll share the campus with future nurses, scientists, artists and more. You can use the common rooms to relax with friends, work out in the 24-hour gym or have a drink in our on-campus pub or cafes. We also have restaurants for you to eat in or grab something on the go. Our Learning Resources Centres are open 24/7, which means you can study whenever suits you best. Want to pop over to the other campus? You can take the free shuttle bus or walk there in just 15 minutes.
