180BSc Nursing (taught in English)
The BSc in Nursing (qualifying as a healthcare professional – Nurse), L-SNT-1 class, is delivered in the traditional format.
The programme is divided into three academic years, for a total of 180 ECTS credits and ends with a final exam with qualifying value and the award of the degree title ‘BSc Nursing’. It gives access to first level continuing education courses activated at UniCamillus or other universities, according to the procedures established in the respective regulations, as well as access to MSc programmes in the LM/ SNT-1 class. Graduates in Nursing may also find employment in public or private healthcare institutions, in the community and in home care, on an employed or self-employed basis.
The programme taught in English aims to provide graduates with the cultural heritage and the conceptual and methodological tools necessary for the practice of the nursing profession, as defined by Ministerial Decree no. 739 of 14 September 1994 and the Code of Ethics of the Nursing Professions, approved in 2019 by the ‘Federazione Nazionale Ordine Professioni Infermieristiche’ (FNOPI).
The UniCamillus BSc Nursing provides the theoretical framework, methodologies and tools for future professionals in preventive, curative, palliative and rehabilitative care, which are of a technical, relational and educational nature (Ministerial Decree no. 739 of 1994 and subsequent additions and amendments). In addition, by developing clinical reasoning and critical thinking, graduates will be able to act consciously, autonomously and responsibly in disease prevention, health education and the care of sick and disabled people of all ages. They are active players in the social context to which they belong and in which they practice, promoting a culture of care and safety (Code of Ethics of the Nursing Professions, 2019).
The study plan includes, from the very first year, classroom-based learning activities (lectures and seminars), theoretical and practical training (workshops and internships), elective modules, and preparation for the final qualifying exam. Access to the final qualifying exam is granted only upon completion of 4,600 hours of theoretical and practical activities. The course is structured into two semesters per academic year, allowing students to obtain 60 ECTS credits. One ECTS credit corresponds to 30 hours of learning.
Attendance is compulsory for all theoretical and practical activities. Furthermore, students can only take Integrated Course exams if they have attended at least 75% of the scheduled hours for the relevant theoretical components.
The acquisition of professional competences is carried out through theoretical and practical training (internship and laboratory), which includes the acquisition of behavioural competences and is carried out in the specific work context, so as to guarantee, at the end of the course, the full mastery of all the necessary competences and their immediate application in the work environment.
Teaching mode and activities
The BSc Nursing may make use of one or more of the following types of teaching/training activities:
- Face-to-face lectures: presentation of a specific topic included in the training curriculum of the BSc Nursing by one or more lecturers, according to a pre-determined timetable, and delivered in a classroom setting to all students regularly enrolled in a given year of the course.
- Practical workshops, exercises and simulations designed to allow students to develop and acquire technical, relational and methodological skills in a supervised context, before or during experimentation in real contexts; The workshop activities are coordinated by a tutor.
- Seminars: training experience aimed at deepening issues in the clinical and practical topics in the nursing field.
- The activities chosen by the student are those organised to ensure cultural and disciplinary expansion, optimising the preparation and training of the individual by responding to the personal inclinations of each student.
The Programme Board organises and schedules the above-mentioned compulsory and elective training activities at the beginning of the academic year or, in any case, at the beginning of each teaching period.
The BSc Nursing guarantees students a number of hours of self-directed learning over the three years of the course, in line with the National Conference of Health Professions Degree Programmes. These are understood to be:
- the use, individually or in small groups, autonomously or under the guidance of the teachers, of the teaching resources made available by the programme for self-directed learning and self-assessment, in order to achieve the learning objectives set; teaching aids (texts, simulators, medical mannequins, audiovisual media, computer programmes, etc.) will be placed, as far as possible, in areas managed by University staff;
- self-study to prepare for exams.
Special emphasis is placed on practical training and clinical internships, which form an integral and qualifying part of professional education. These activities are carried out under the supervision and guidance of dedicated nurse tutors.
The aim of the internship is to enable students to achieve, maintain and develop quality learning and a sense of responsibility through the targeted support of one or more experienced professionals. The internship aims to enable students to acquire specific skills of professional interest as well as professional technical skills through practical experimentation and the integration of theoretical-scientific knowledge with professional and organisational operational practice.
