**Unleash your potential and make a real difference – train to be a registered nurse with a university ranked in the UK top 5 for Nursing courses**

**AN INNOVATIVE BLENDED NURSING BACHELOR'S DEGREE THAT QUALIFIES YOU TO BECOME A REGISTERED NURSE**

The extraordinary demand for nurses and nursing skills in the UK is exemplified by the current UK Government target of recruiting 50,000 additional nurses and 26,000 additional primary care workers by 2025 (gov.uk), with nursing consistently one of the most employable degree subjects in the UK and worldwide.

The huge contribution that nurses make to public healthcare is more vital today than ever before, with due recognition in 2020 from the WHO, who marked the year as The International Year of the Nurse and Midwife.

The innovative BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing (Blended) from the University of Sunderland and Health Education England (HEE) has been fully approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). The course has been designed for individuals who want to launch a rewarding career in nursing and make a real difference to people’s lives, every day.

You will learn the knowledge and skills required of a Registered Nurse, and your learning will be directly aligned with the needs of the NHS and other healthcare employers. On successful completion of the course, you will be eligible to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as a Registered Nurse (Adult).
