Nursing, Sheffield Hallam University

The nursing teachers are very good however the course can sometimes seem unorganised & hard to get the right help

Started slightly more diffucult as placed into teaching groups very late. Which made friend making complicated..but, into the swing of things now (its all taught very quickly 40hrs contact to 160 self) so be prepped

The course so far this year has been very good especially out on placement, good opportunities but the teaching in the 3rd term has been about things we could of done without having a lecture or seminar.

Good course. 50% theory and 50% practical.

Brilliant course lovely staff and prepares you well for placement

Value for money is an obvious one whilst NHS bursaries are still around. Teaching quality is good, personal tutors always happy to help, content fascinating and you'll almost always get a job straight out of uni.

My first year was brilliant !!

good course. covered by bursary. amazing lecturers. enjoy a lot

This is a large University with a large and good quality teaching team. The education you receive is from experts in their field. There is a nice balance between academic and practical sessions, and being in Sheffield the range of placements are wide, especially with two massive teaching hospitals next door. If anything could be improved, then the amount of time in clinical scenarios could be increased, these sessions were ones everyone looked forward to and provided you with an outlet to practice in a safe environment. Highlight of the three years has to be SMART day!

Love my course, suits me well for my future career. Lovely staff and great when you need help.

All staff on the course are really helpful. Course content is really interesting also

The course has a mixture of educational and practical which is perfect for the different learning styles. I throughly enjoy the course and the staff are amazing.

Really good course, love the practicals and biosciences stuff and the subject is well taught!

Really enjoyed the course and I've always wanted to study here. so far, im really enjoying my time here and the course is very interesting.

Could be more contact time for what we pay

The course is interesting and I like the mix of seminars to lectures, where other disciplines can share their options and views based on their subject. Some of the teaching content is repeated in numerous online work and seminars for example handwashing, which can become tedious.

I feel like this course it really poorly ran. I feel so confused about what’s happening most of the time.

I think value for money is a controversial one for nursing as most people believe student nurses should be paid for what they’re doing instead of having to pay to do it themselves. The ‘assessing and planning for person centred care’ module I enjoy as it’s hands on and I feel I’m learning whereas other modules are less helpful and they’re just reading from powerpoints. My tutor Gayle is lovely, she does everything she can to help our group and always wants to help.

Learnt so much since starting here!

Staff always nice, some aspects of teaching seem irrelevant

I have loved the course throughout the whole of first year so far. Although at times I can feel confused on some course content my personal tutor is a massive help and goes above and beyond for me.

Enjoying the course, don’t learn much while in classes but I’m learning lots in lectures

Amazing course and amazing post grad opportunities

Love my course and my tutors. It’s definitely something you can use in hour career and use to go something bigger

Honestly this is one of the most demanding courses you could do at university, and after freshers your social life sorta stops, lol. 37.5 placement weeks, 5am starts, 5 days in a row.... Yeah it's great.
