The Nursing Studies (Registered Nurse Children's Nursing) course combines theory and practice, and is taught by a dedicated team of inspiring and passionate staff, all committed to taking the profession forward through research and innovation. You will be challenged and supported throughout the course to become a highly competent children’s nurse. Upon graduation, you will be eligible to apply for professional registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). This course is firmly based on the philosophy of individualised care that meets the needs of the child or young person. You'll learn how to support and educate families to enable them to be involved in their child's care. You will be supported to care for infants, children, young people and their families, from the neonate to the adolescent, in a variety of settings. An important aspect of the course will be the opportunity for you to take part in simulated practice learning. As well as developing a range of clinical nursing skills, you will take part in simulations to explore many of the key principles within children’s nursing, such as communication, child development, ethical care principles and children’s rights, and to develop decision-making skills. Nursing is the largest healthcare profession in the country and nurses play a role in the delivery of most healthcare services. Although many qualified nurses work in hospitals, they can also work in general practice surgeries, community settings, home healthcare, outpatient day surgeries, nursing homes, schools, mental health agencies, hospices, the military and industry. Our nursing graduates have excellent employment prospects. Many of our graduates are first employed by the NHS Trust where they had their practice experience, before going on to further studies and employment opportunities. Some nurses develop careers in education or research, promoting advances in many areas of healthcare and health promotion practice
