Welcome to our new Adult and Mental Health Nursing Students!

We’re your Students’ Union, and we’re here to support and represent you during your time studying here at UCLan.

You’re automatically a member of the SU once you’ve enrolled, which means you have access to all of our services and activities. We’ll tell you a bit more about what we do later in the week, but we hope you have an amazing first day on campus and enjoy some of the sessions we’ve put on for you!

Note: We're adding events to the itinerary all the time, so please check back closer to the date to find out what we've got planned!

 

 

Nursing Welcome 2024 - SU Welcome Itinerary

10am

Welcome Brunch – Lampworks, Students' Union Building

At 10am, we’ll be greeting you with a free welcome brunch in Lampworks, the Students’ Union bar & social space. This will be a chance to mingle with other new students, meet some existing student nurses and indulge in some food before the day begins.

All Day (10-3pm)

 

Welcome Zone – SU Ground Floor

Our Welcome Team will be on hand to answer your questions and point you in the right direction. 

Games Area - SU Upper Ground Floor

We will have Table Tennis, Giant Jenga and other games and activties available all day on the upper ground floor of the SU building near the cafe. 

Relaxation Room - Park Room, Students' Union

The Park Room will be available throughout the day for you to use if you’re feeling overwhelmed, need a break or just a few quiet moments away from the crowds. Refreshments will be available all day, plus some calming activities for you to do alone or with friends.

 

 

11am

Welcome to Preston - Flintoff Room, Students' Union Building

New to the area? UCLan legend Steph Lomas will be running a session all about Preston and the local area. She will be covering local traditions, where you can find the best student discounts and where is good to grab lunch after a lecture.

 

 

Tote-Bag Decorating with Nursing Society - Lampworks, Students' Union Building

As nurses, you'll be jetting off on placement throughout your time at UCLan and will no doubt have lots of bits and bobs to carry! This is an opportunity to get creative, get to know your peers a bit more and make your own tote bags to take with you on placement. This session will be hosted by some of our current students from Nursing Society.

 

12pm

LUNCH HOUR

This is your free time to go and explore UCLan and grab some food before we get cracking with the rest of the afternoon. You may want to use this time to collect your student ID from the library, or familiarise yourself with some of the buildings.

1pm

Self Care at University - Flintoff Room, Students' Union

Nurses are renowned for being excellent care-givers when it comes to patients, friends and family. But it’s important to look after yourself too! Find out how to balance your time and put your wellbeing first whilst studying to become a nurse. 

PositiviTea with Nursing Society - Lampworks, Students' Union

We have been reliably informed that nurses love a good brew, and can get quite territorial about their favourite mug whilst on placement. We're here to make sure you never misplace your mug again by giving you a chance to personalise your own to take with you (in your tote bag!). This session will be hosted by some of our current students from Nursing Society.

2pm

Nursing Society Meet & Greet - Lampworks, Students' Union

Nursing Society will be a meet & greet to give you a chance to ask some of your burning questions and hear about their experience so far at UCLan.

8pm
