About Nursing Studies (child) Bsc (hons) in Teesside University

Children's nursing involves the care of children 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 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 and their families in a variety of diverse settings. As a children's nurse you become an integral part of the multidisciplinary team providing the expertise which underpins 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 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
• everyone counts.

Throughout the course, as part of the placement experience, you will be required to participate in a shift pattern rota, work weekends and undertake night duties.
