MODULE DETAILS . What is a Nurse? The role of the nurse is to provide evidence- based, culturally-sensitive care in order to assist the individual to lead an independent healthy lifestyle, overcome ill health or experience a peaceful death. The nurse achieves this through working as part of a professional multidisciplinary team to provide primary healthcare, acute hospital care, community and home and continuing care, based on individual and population health needs across the lifespan. Students of nursing learn about caring and the complexities of health and illness through interactive teaching and learning strategies in the classroom and the healthcare environment. Practice (clinical and community) experience provides the student with opportunities to integrate the art and science of nursing and promotes the development of caring relationships with patients and their families/significant others. The four-year nursing courses (Children’s and General integrated is 4.5 years) are offered in partnership with six health service providers. Trinity’s six linked health service providers for this course are: General nursing › Tallaght University Hospital › St. James’s Hospital Mental health nursing › HSE South & West Dublin, Kildare, Wicklow, Mental Health Services › St. Patrick’s Mental Health Services Intellectual disability nursing › Stewart’s Care, Palmerstown › Muiríosa Foundation, Moore Abbey Children’s and general nursing › Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) Nursing: The course for you? Do you love working with and for the benefit of people of all ages and from diverse backgrounds? If you want a rewarding and respected career with great employment and travel opportunities, then the professional course in nursing could be for you. A genuine interest in people and a desire to care for others are core requirements for any individual who wishes to become a nurse. In addition you will need to have a keen interest in healthcare and be capable of working as part of a team. Like all professional courses in health sciences, nursing places extra demands on students’ time.
