Do you want to make a difference, not just a choice? Children’s nursing is a compassionate, challenging and rewarding career. Our programme provides you with the skills and knowledge to become a registered children’s nurse within 3 years and offers you the opportunity to make a real difference to children’s lives; a value that few other professions can offer.
Children’s nurses provide support and care to children, adolescents and their families. The role can involve everything from nursing a sick new-born baby to caring for an adolescent road accident victim. A child nurse needs to interpret children’s behaviour and reactions and be able to spot when a child's health deteriorates, which can often happen rapidly. Children have very specific health needs and children’s nurses are practiced within a family-centred care approach, where children, young people and their carers are actively supported to become involved in care decisions. |
