Study plan Bachelor in Nursing
Programme description
The Bachelor in Nursing consists of 180 ECTS, divided into four main areas of study. Clinical studies and prepatory courses for clinical practice comprise 90 ECTS. The national curriculum for nursing education stipulates that 150 ECTS must be allocated to nursing-specific studies, while 30 ECTS remain common for all health fields. Students are expected to study approximately 40 hours per week. The study workload incorporates active participation in teaching, groupwork, clinical studies, independent study and supervision.
The primary goal of nursing studies is the education of knowledgable, independent and responsible nurses, who possess the willingness and ability to carry out their duties consciously and reflectively. Nursing, caring, prevention and treatment form the cornerstones of the nursing profession. Students learn to provide care to the sick on the basis of experience, and using their knowledge of pathophysiology, diagnostics and treatment of each specific condition. Promotion of health and wellbeing, and prevention of illness, demands knowledge about the relationships between health and illness viewed from individual, cultural and societal perspectives.
Students will acquire the expertise to provide care in real situations. The practice of nursing is based on moral, relational and practical expertise. Students learn to utilise their knowledge, experiences, skills and ethical values in nursing practice. The goal is to develop this practical knowledge by combing clinical experience, updated research-based knowledge, user input and participation.
Organisation of practice placement: Nursing students complete their practice periods in different regions. Students at campus Bodø carry out practice studies in Salten, Lofoten, Vesterålen, Helgeland North or Helgeland South. Students at campus Helgeland carry out practice studies om Helgeland North or Helgeland South.
Practice regions include:
Salten: Bodø, Fauske and Saltdal municipalities. Beiarn, Gildeskål, Hamarøy, Steigen and Sørfold municipalities may be used in some cases.
Lofoten: Vestvågøy and Vågan municipalities. Flakstad and Moskenes municipalities may be used in some cases.
