**September and January intakes.** **Course overview**: Children's nursing involves the care of children, young people and their families in health and illness, recognising that children are unique individuals with specific needs. This child nursing degree course at Teesside University equips you with the special knowledge and skills required to form a successful career in paediatric care. This course focuses on the development of specific knowledge and skills required to care for children, young people and their families in a variety of diverse acute and community settings. As a children's nurse you become an integral part of the multidisciplinary team providing the expertise which underpins health care for a child at any age or development stage. Through the development of clinical skills, decision-making and interpersonal skills you ultimately demonstrate the ability to lead and manage the care of children young people and their families. To be a children’s nurse and to share the child and family healthcare experiences, in sometimes very difficult and emotional times, is a privilege requiring sensitivity and compassion. The public places high expectations and levels of trust upon nurses, and the course develops practitioners who can meet these expectations. It is hard work and challenging. Therefore, to work within the healthcare sector it is essential that you are able to demonstrate the core values embedded within the NHS Constitution: working together for patients, respect and dignity, commitment to quality of care, compassion, improving lives and everyone counts. 50% of the learning time is spent engaging in University or self-managed learning activities (theory) and 50% of the time is spent within placement allocations (practice). Throughout the course, as part of the placement experience, you will be required to participate in a shift pattern rota and work weekends and undertake night duties. The range of placements provide diverse and rewarding learning experiences. Placements may not be near to your home or within your local trust. You are expected to travel to different areas. The structure and sequencing of University and placement-based learning means that holidays are fixed - it is not possible to take holidays outside of the set dates. **After the course**: A diverse range of career opportunities are available within the NHS and private sectors in the UK and overseas. This course provides a stepping stone from which you can develop your expertise in the fields of nursing practice, leadership, research, education and consultancy.
