About Nursing Studies, Miscellaneous Non Award - at Trinity College Dublin
AimThe overall aim of this degree programme is to provide nurses and midwives with an increased level of knowledge, skills and attitudes about the principles and processes of practice. The programme will develop students' knowledge concerning the nature of nursing and challenge their thinking and assumptions about their profession.
RationaleContemporary trends and developments in the delivery of health care have brought about an expansion of the nurse's
role and responsibilities. These developments have resulted in the need to provide the nurse with a depth and breath of knowledge at graduate level. Therefore, the BNS programme is necessary because it will provide opportunities for students to acquire knowledge and skills across a range of subjects at degree level. In addition, the BNS will facilitate students to reflect on their beliefs, values and attitudes about nursing.
