MSc Adult Nursing Pre-Registration

Hi,
I am bit confused by the term pre-registration. Does anyone know about this course? I did my bachelor’s in different background not related to healthcare but I have 2 years of work experience in healthcare setting and this 2 years MSc Adult Nursing(Pre-registration) course is for people from different background who wish to become nurse. I am planning to study this course and wish to start working as RN. if I complete this course will it be equivalent to Band 5 RN in the UK ? Because my friends are telling me that this course will lead to pre-reg nurse jobs and then I will have to study another 18months to be able to do medications and IV. Is it true?
I have shared link of the university offering this course

What does nursing pre-registration mean........
The MSc Adult Nursing (Pre-registration) is an accelerated postgraduate course developed for those who have already graduated with an undergraduate degree. You'll gain the experience and skills required to practice as an adult nurse in two years, rather than the traditional three-year route.

Each university will have there own requirements for the course's and also timeframe of you qualifying. Check out the university course details.

All newly qualified NHS nurses in the UK starts at the bottom of Band 5 Pascale and then you'll have opportunities to climb the career ladder as you gain more and more experience as a nurse.

You are trained on medication and how to do IV and blood taking during your time as a student nurse.
