When you study a nursing Clearing degree with us, you will spend 50% of your placement in hospital and community settings, in both the NHS and independent sector. This can entail working in wards, health centres, detention centres, care homes, or hospitals. During your placement, you will work in a well-supported environment alongside qualified practice assessors and supervisors.
Nursing facilities
The facilities on our nursing degree Clearing courses include several clinical rooms to enhance your learning. From taking blood to giving emergency CPR, you will learn a range of routine and more complicated procedures.
Housed in the Mary Seacole building, our clinical practice wards and simulation suite have been designed to give the look and feel of a real hospital. The rooms can be used for a range of scenarios, including adult bays, children’s bays, a treatment room, and a midwifery labour room.
The patient simulation lab provides you with opportunities to tackle real-life scenarios in a safe and supported environment. The lab contains hi-tech patient simulators that can mimic everything from the common cold to a major heart condition.
