The children’s nurse specialises in caring for children, young people and their families in a variety of settings, as part of an inter-professional approach to care. However as a nurse for the future the NMC expect you to provide care for people from all fields of nursing, so we will enhance your knowledge and skills in relation to caring for adults (including older people), those with mental health conditions and those with learning disabilities.
The work of a children’s nurse can range from caring for a sick new-born baby or caring for a teenager with complex physical or psychological needs, to observing the development of a child or caring for a young person who has injured themselves.
Foundation year courses have been designed for students who do not have the necessary academic qualifications needed to enter directly into the first year of a degree but who have the ability and commitment to do so.
