The Importance Of Pediatric Nursing

Christian, B. J. (2013). The Essence of Pediatric Nursing—Translating Evidence to Improve Pediatric Nursing Care for Children, Their Parents and Families. Journal of Pediatric Nursing. 28(2), 193-195.

In this trade journal, Christian and other members of Alabama’s Nursing school discuss certain tasks and responsibilities that pediatric nurses deal with on a daily basis. Christian goes about sharing these responsibilities, by touching on the different care and treatment aspects that nurses teach to children who have just become diagnosed. The author also addresses, how a pediatric nurse does not just have to care for the ill child but how they also care for the emotional needs of the child’s family as well. Some research methods that Christian used to demonstrate how pediatric nurses go about doing these different task, was by conducting a complex clinical case study on pediatric nurses. As well as, analysing an online support group that pediatric nurses often suggest for the benefit of the ill child's parents and family.
