Adult nursing timetable

Hi,I’m going to be starting my first year of adult nursing in September. I’m just wondering if anyone knows if we get weekends off or any holiday dates and / or how many weeks we get off? Thank you!

Hi,

Just jumping in here!

Would you think that the child nursing would follow the same format (roughly)? Also, if you're working 3 x 12 hour shifts in placement Mon, Tue, Wed, do you still have to attend uni on the Thurs & Fri or has that been self-study time??

I'm considering retraining as a nurse, and live close to Teesside uni, but their child nursing course is way over subscribed... I can't believe that Northumbria still have places!

I've seen on their website that they follow the usual uni semesters, so we would get time off at Easter & the long summer break.

Any information would be useful, Thanks.

Hi Do you know if the summer break will be around the same time every year so for 2022/2023 roughly beginning of September ?

Hi yes
So the blue section before the holidays is also holiday if you have no extra hours to make up.

Hiya o think children’s are going to be following a similar format.
Basically the grey squares are days in uni so yes you’d be expected to be in uni those days as you need to log a certain number of hours of theory as well as practice.
Blue squares are self directed study

Hi, on your days at uni how long are you in for? Is it the full day ?

Hi I’m a current first year adult nurse and they’ve released the provisional overview of the time line of the course.
Green is placement as that part of the key is cut off. This is just a provisional one do it may change

Hey!
I’m starting next month and wondering if you know if there’s much flexibility with the timetable. Is there different groups of students that do different days say Wednesday-Friday or is everyone together?
Thanks!

They do different days for different groups so I’m PT 18 so I had uni on Tuesdays and Wednesdays this year whereas my friend in PT21 was Wednesday Thursday

Once you start placement you need to fit your placement days around the study days as you can’t miss them but the placements are aware of this so it’s quite easy to do.

Feel free to ask me anything else about it all

Thanks SO much for the fast reply! That’s great to hear there’s different groups on different days just for childcare I was worrying.

Are you enjoying Northumbria? It says they’ll be continuing blended learning, do you think the support studying from home has been good?
