Nursing and Midwifery taster day
Our Adult Nursing taster session will give you the chance to experience what being a nurse is really like.
Preparing a Patient for a Procedure
This Adult Nursing taster session will take place at our Clinical Skills Centre at Sam Fox House, Northern General Hospital, which includes mock clinical wards, resuscitation suites, simulated theatres and teaching rooms.
We'll begin with a short theory session, to prepare you before the practical activities begin. Once you're ready, we will be taking a patient's Vital Signs Observations including pulse, temperature, oxygen saturations, blood pressure and respiratory rate, while documenting these details.
You'll then have the chance to apply a pair of TED stockings and insert a naso-gastric tube, using the manikins.
We'll then debrief and evaluate the clinical procedures and finish the session with a Q&A with academic staff and current students.
Please note that you should wear comfortable, flat footwear.
When: Friday 19th May 2023, 10.00am - 12.00pm
Age group: Year 12 and 13, BTEC and Mature students
Suitable for: BBB at A-Level*
*alternative qualifications can be found on our Adult Nursing course page.
