About the Course

This course equips general nurses with increased knowledge and abilities in the specialised area of paediatric nursing and prepare nurses to work in a range of paediatric nursing settings safely and professionally.

Paediatric nurses meet the nursing care requirements of newborns, children, and adolescents as they quickly move through physical, mental, and social phases of development.

The course will educate nurses about paediatric nursing and equip them to offer high-quality and safe nursing interventions. The curriculum puts a focus on critical thinking abilities necessary for practise in the field of paediatric nursing.

Paediatric nurses must adapt to new technology and treatments and incorporate them into their practise in order to deliver safe, effective, and high-quality nursing care.

The Graduate Certificate in Advanced Nursing also serves as a gateway for individuals interested in pursuing a Master of Nursing degree in Australia, either on-campus or online.
