BSc (Hons) Nursing (Child)

Children's Nursing is a highly-skilled, rewarding, and caring profession where you can make a real difference in people’s lives. You’ll promote health and provide whole-person care in hospitals and the community. However, this pre-registration course will give you the specialist skills needed to help children and young people, as well as educate and support their families. Half the course will be spent at the university, where you’ll learn the theoretical foundations of nursing. The other half will be spent in a variety of clinical settings, developing your hands-on skills. The integration of theory and practice will ensure you become a skilled, competent, compassionate, and committed children’s nurse.

Work placement

Practice placements are organized within neighboring NHS Trusts in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, and North London and in other settings including the private and voluntary sectors. There is the opportunity to learn with and from people in the community and in hospitals where nursing is experienced. The placements are wide and varied, emphasizing the chosen field of practice - Children's Nursing. During the first year, experiences may also include caring for adults, service users with learning disabilities, or those with mental health problems.

A number of NHS Trusts support student nurses in their practice by providing placements in local health service trusts, social services, local educational institutions, private health care facilities, and the voluntary sector. North London, Hertfordshire, and Bedfordshire provide this support in a varying capacity dependent on the program undertaken and the chosen field of Nursing.
