The Bachelor of Health Care, Nursing prepares students for work as nurses. The page says nurses plan, implement and evaluate drug treatment and treatment procedures, conduct examinations, assess patients' conditions and support functional capacity. It also says the work includes guiding, advising and supporting relatives.
SEAMK describes the nursing studies as combining general basic studies, professional studies, practical training periods, elective courses and a thesis. The page says students study practical skills in simulations in a modern clinical skills training environment, and that the programme includes 50 weeks of work placement in different care environments.
The page says the TopUp option is for students who already have previous studies and that the programme prepares students to work professionally in both English and Finnish. It also says graduates can apply to master's programmes in Finland and abroad after gaining work experience.
