Entry Requirements:
Applicants are eligible for entry on to the programme if they have previously been on the NMC register as a Nursing Associate and want to re-register and return to professional practice. Each candidate will need to complete the Prior Experience Record (PER) so they can be assessed by an academic to ensure the programme meets individual needs and to assess the minimum practice hours required. The evidence produced will be mapped against the NMC Standards of Proficiency for Pre- Registration Nursing (NMC, 2018/2019) in addition; this will also form the start of the students' professional developmental portfolio. It is the responsibility of the student to demonstrate, through the production of this Prior Experience Record (PER) so that it can be considered to satisfy the standards required.
However, applicants who may have not achieved the re-validation requirements (practice hours) and are therefore not currently off the register can also apply and commence the programme. All applicants must provide evidence of any lapsed registration, or current registration, and this must be confirmed by the NMC.
Mechanisms for monitoring and evaluation of the programme:
1. The programme has two essential elements divided into theory and practice. Both theory and practice must be passed to successfully complete the programme. The practice aspect of the programme involves experience in a relevant area.
