Summary

"Developing Nursing Practice with Children and Young People explores the scope of both current and developing practice of nurses who care for children and young people, and looks at contemporary issues and emerging roles within the field." "Divided into three sections, the first focuses on the emergence and evolvement of the children's nursing role in healthcare. The second part examines many aspects of practice for registered practitioners in nursing, ranging from acute care settings to children's nurses' developing roles in primary care, public health, mental health and children and young people with disabilities. The third part provides a detailed analysis of advanced practice in children's nursing. It begins with a chapter focusing on the advanced practitioner in emergency and assessment areas, and gives an overview of the development of the advanced nurse practitioner and how practitioners work towards the necessary training and education for the role." "Developing Nursing Practice with Children and Young People will be essential reading for all emerging children's practitioners; those who are established in their roles and those who aspire to advanced practice and other related career pathways."--BOOK JACKET.
