Ellisse Vernon

BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing | 2015

"I have been studying at the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø for just over 12 months. I am now in my final year of adult nursing after transferring from another university. The adult nursing course at the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø is outstanding; university tutors and clinical nurse tutors are very supportive and you're not just a student ID number, at this university you are an individual with a name. The dedication and support which I have received since transferring has had an impact on me not only as a student nurse with becoming more confident but has had a positive impact on my overall grades. The clinical skills week before starting placement are brilliant and prepares you and helps you practice the skills needed on the wards. Throughout placement the clinical nurse tutors come and see you every week to ensure everything is going smoothly and to highlight any issues - if any. I couldn't recommend studying at the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø enough - it is fantastic!"

Shazia Ali

BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing | 2015

"I began my nurse training at the University Of Bolton in February 2016, throughout my three years the university provided me with immense support within my placements and academic work. The tutors were always on hand when needed who also prepared us for the challenges that a nurse can face and helping to develop the skills needed to handle these situations. I am now a qualified nurse working within the Royal Bolton Hospital and can confidently say that this could not have been done without the ongoing support that has been provided by the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø's academic staff and support services."
