Course description
Learn to be confident and competent in the care of children and young people requiring healthcare interventions.
Edinburgh Napier is the largest provider of child health nurses in Scotland and is the ideal starting point for anyone wishing to progress in a career in child health nursing.
The Child Nursing degree at Edinburgh Napier has been developed to give you an academic qualification and the vocational training to become a registered nurse.
You'll understand the theoretical aspects that are integral to this career in nursing and also develop the personal skills to communicate with children and their families.
We work closely with local healthcare providers to organise placements which allow you to put theory into practice. Work placements make up 50% of the course content.
