Pediatric Nursing

Pediatric Nursing is an area of nursing and medical practice with a focus on providing holistic care to infants, children and adolescents. It differs from pediatrics, in that the emphasis in pediatrics is ill-health and the alleviation of symptoms or disease.

One of the major principles of pediatric nursing is the concept of family centered care. Pediatric nurses function to support the family by providing nursing care that the family cannot perform, educating and supporting them to maintain their normal caring activities and actively viewing the parents as partners in the care process..
