Nursing with Registered Nurse - Mental Health (September) (Blended Learning)

Course Overview

Our blended learning combines 80% online study with 20% face-to-face blocks. You'll have weekly online sessions and practical KIT days. This provides flexibility to fit around other commitments.

Nursing is one of the most rewarding careers you can choose. You'll deliver care to adults who need immediate help and support in hospitals or community settings. We offer a choice of in-person or blended learning delivery.

Promoting good health and educating people to care for themselves, and others, is a key focus for adult nurses. Whether your patients are in hospital, care homes or being nursed at home.

Registered Nurses provide professional care for patients in many settings. Your experiences throughout the course will prepare you for registration. During the course, you'll work with a range of adults. Some will have physical problems, while others will have mental health problems that call for excellent listening skills as well as your clinical knowledge.
