#4 Best course in Scotland

2011-03-04 01:12

As a recent graduate from this course I can vouch for the success and value of the course at Glasgow University. Now working in intensive care in the Oxford area the Science focus (unique to Glasgow) has been invaluable as well as the strong research utilisation skills in my new career. Yes there are other nursing courses in Glasgow and they do produce very capable nurses but they do not consistently produce nurses who challenge and develop practice, and who become leaders in their field.
For the past few years Kings college hospital in London made the effort of sending staff to headhunt nurses from Glasgow University due the high quality of graduates. I think this demonstrates the opinion of employers of the value of a Glasgow University Nursing training.
To claim that there is no value to the course to the University as a whole is misguided when such a small school can have such a big influence on the reputation of the University across the country.
