General Practice Nursing

If your heart beats with a desire to help others, nursing could become your calling. In this work, every action and every word of yours can be a healing touch for someone who needs it most. “We cannot help everyone, but everyone can help someone,” said Ronald Reagan. Nursing studies will give you not only vital medical knowledge, but will also teach you how to be there, with gentleness and understanding, for those who need your help today.

By studying this specialty, you will learn not only how nursing and medicine can change a person’s condition, but also how to ease the soul, because nursing is an art with the person at its centre. It is a career in which every gesture and every moment can change a person’s life. The nursing profession will let you grow, develop and adapt to the latest innovations in healthcare, while ensuring that every moment of your working day is meaningful, both to you and to those you care for.

What makes the programme distinctive

The General Practice Nursing programme is carefully designed to ensure that every student not only acquires the necessary theoretical knowledge, but also gains vitally important practical skills. At the heart of this programme is an innovative Nursing and Midwifery Simulation Centre, where students can safely experience realistic clinical situations.

Equipped with the most advanced technology, this centre allows students not only to explore different clinical scenarios, but also to learn how to act in situations requiring rapid decision-making, with no risk to patients whatsoever. Such placements help develop not only technical skills, but also the emotional resilience needed to work in high-pressure environments.

The programme’s structure and content are carefully aligned with the latest nursing standards, in order to prepare graduates able to cope with the challenges of today’s healthcare environment. In addition, considerable attention is given to the human side – students intensively develop their communication skills and ability to work in a team, which is essential for a successful career in the healthcare system.

Based on the 2025 graduate career indicators, 6 months after graduation, 82.89% of General Practice Nursing programme graduates are in employment, and those employed under an employment contract earn an average gross monthly income of €2,244.22.
