OVERVIEW FACULTY REQUIREMENTS AND ADMISSIONS FAQS BSC (HONS) IN NURSING IN GENERAL NURSING Hibernia College has developed a BSc (Hons) in Nursing in General Nursing. The programme offers a new and innovative approach to undergraduate nursing education, designed using the established Hibernia College blended learning model. It was developed in partnership with our clinical partners.

Competency-based assessment is a key feature of clinical learning and uses the national assessment framework. Assessment includes academic writing, including essays, projects and care plans; group projects and presentations; and a limited number of examinations, all of which create a Personal Professional Portfolio through the programme.
