Teesside UniversityThe public places high expectations and levels of trust in nurses, and this course develops practitioners who can meet these expectations. It is hard work and challenging, and very rewarding.
Children's nurses take a holistic approach and evidence-based practice coupled with an awareness of contemporary health issues facing children and young people.
By the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), you spend 50% of the course in theory settings and 50% in practice settings in child health settings such as children’s wards, health visiting, school nursing services and neonatal units where you develop proficiency and experience in skills required to be a child nurse.
Technology is an integral part of your learning with a dedicated children’s nursing lab on campus where you practice and develop required skills in a safe environment using simulation using state-of-the-art equipment.
You study a range of modules to develop relevant underpinning theories specific to the needs of children, such as child development, family-centred care and safeguarding. The teaching team are experienced child nurses who use a blended face-to-face teaching approach in seminars, lectures, and virtual and online learning.
Service users are involved in the development and delivery of the modules which ensures lived experiences of children and their families, exploration of contemporary issues facing children and young people and the impact on their physical, mental, social and emotional health are considered.
