Working as a children’s nurse, no two days are ever the same. At King’s, we equip you with the skills you need to deliver excellent care to children, young people and their families, build relationships, and understand how to use research. Whether it’s decision making or medication management, we cover the topics you’ll depend on every day caring for children, young people and their families. We put your skills to the test during your placements with your host trust. Our wide-spread placement options mean you’ll treat a diverse range of children and families in trusts, nurseries and children’s services across London.
“The course itself has been both challenging and enjoyable. It is divided equally between working on placement and studying at University. I’ve already had the opportunity to work at King’s College Hospital, The Evelina Children’s Hospital and undertake a placement within the community.”
We are the leading Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery & Palliative Care in the UK, holding an excellent reputation for producing outstanding clinicians and world leaders in specialist areas.
Graduates who qualify from our courses also gain professional registration as a Children’s Nurse from the Nursing and Midwifery Council. Many of our qualifying nurses go on to further study or gain employment in prominent London NHS Trusts, while others choose to work elsewhere in the UK and abroad.
There are varied choices of career destinations from hospital and in-patient services, community services and teams, charity and independent sector, research, teaching and management. Whatever the chosen pathway, our children’s nursing graduates are well-prepared to face the challenges of a career in children’s nursing and the complexities of pioneering healthcare.
