NURS 3401U – Advanced Pediatric Nursing
Focusing on the partnership relationship between the nurse, the child, the family, and the multidisciplinary team, this course will allow students to explore the philosophical underpinnings and application of pediatric nursing. Building on the learning outcomes of Child and Family Nursing Theory and Practicum, this course allows nursing students to recognize the unique healthcare needs of children as patients requiring specialized knowledge and expertise in their growth, illness, and injury. Through readings, online discussions, video presentations, case studies, and simulations, students will engage in the role of the pediatric nurse within the context of the patient’s experience of selected health challenges. Deeply rooted in family‐centered care, learners will advance their communication, critical thinking, and systematic inquiry skills within the context of pediatric nursing which are essential to provide quality child and family‐centered care. In particular, students will explore additional comprehensive assessment strategies, will be challenged to make clinical decisions, and plan care for selected seriously ill children. This course emphasizes synthesis of knowledge, skills and attitudes that enable nurses to provide safe and competent care to vulnerable children.
