Child Nursing
What is Child Nursing?
Children are unique beings who have distinct needs based on their maturity and stage of development. The challenge for children's nurses is to promote the health and wellbeing of children and their families, this may include working with the healthy child and family to maintain health, where a health issue is present, assisting them in their recovery, helping them adapt to long term conditions or supporting them through the process of dying.
Why study Child Nursing?
The need for specialist knowledge in order to meet the complex needs of children and their families has been recognised since 1988. By studying Child Nursing you will be continuing that tradition and through a variety of theoretical and clinical experiences you will gain the knowledge and skills needed to care for children, young people and their families.
"It is the real test of a nurse whether she can nurse a sick infant" (Nightingale, 1859).
