Children's Nursing with Foundation Year - BNurs (Hons)

Children's nursing, also called paediatric nursing, is a rewarding career involving caring for young people, whilst offering support to family members.

The care a children's nurse (also called a paediatric nurse) provides can span across a wide range of needs from the sick newborn baby to the young person who has a chronic disease. Wherever children require care, including their home, school, a residential setting or in hospital, a professional paediatric nurse can provide expert assistance while they heal and recover.

Study children's nursing and develop the knowledge and skills to provide safe and effective nursing care to children and young people. This qualification enables you to register with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) as a registered paediatric nurse, who can work in a variety of healthcare settings.
