Our BSc Children’s Nursing degree will help you develop excellent care for children, young people and their families. This course equips you with the skills, knowledge and confidence to care for children in a variety of settings including the hospital and community. The primary aim of the course is to ensure that King’s Nursing graduates can deliver safe, effective and compassionate care to the public at their point of registration and that they have the ability to develop and refine their proficiencies as qualified practitioners. Nurses graduating from the course will meet the academic and clinical standards set by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (2018), King’s College London and Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (2016). They will embrace the conceptual and philosophical perspectives of the person-centred framework (McCormack and McCance 2010). This course offers students the opportunity to develop the proficiencies required for registration as a Children's Nurse.
