BSc Nursing Studies (Child)

Working as an integral part of the health care team, Children s Nurses deliver specialist nursing care to children and their families from birth to young adulthood. Children s Nurses practice in a wide range of settings ranging from intensive care units and family homes to delivering care in global emergency situations. Inter-professional learning with students from a range of health care professional courses will encourage your awareness of the roles and responsibilities of the wider multi-disciplinary team and foster team working skills. As a student nurse, you will undertake practice placement in a variety of settings including the new Glasgow Children s Hospital, community nursing and school nursing. These experiences will be supported by theoretical nursing knowledge and practical experiences developed in GCU s state-of-the-art inter-professional clinical simulation centre.
