Pediatric (child health) nursing
We, the Faculty of the Department of Child Health Nursing, prepare students to build expertise and in-depth understanding in the field of Paediatric Nursing. The department’s goal is to train students in the notion of children’s growth and development, as well as the differences in care between children and adults. A well-equipped air-conditioned laboratory with models, mannequins, instruments, and audio-visual aids facilitates the teaching-learning process. Simulation lab and LMS module learning acts as a devastating blow for the Nursing students in the clinical settings.
