Introduction to the Program
This program will help you prepare for the competency test to obtain the title of specialist in Pediatric Nursing, recently approved by the Ministry of Health"
Pediatric Nursing was differentiated as a separate specialty because the health problems and care needs required during childhood and adolescence are very different from those required in adulthood. The field of child health care has undergone a clear improvement in recent decades as a result of, among other factors, the effectiveness of treatment and quality of care, and activities related to health promotion and disease prevention.
The problems that arise in today's society, such as eating disorders or mental health problems, together with the increase in the number of births due to immigration, pose a great challenge for health professionals in general, and for pediatric nurses in particular. It means meeting new demands in complex contexts, which require qualified professionals.
The Pediatric Nursing professional must be able to provide comprehensive care to children in the different stages of their lives, including all aspects related to the provision of expert care to promote and protect their health, as well as to prevent and cure disease.
This program facilitates the updating of the nursing professional’s knowledge in a way that is both practical and adapted to their needs, in order to provide care for pediatric patients and their families, with the highest quality and confidence based on the latest scientific evidence.
The constant updating of knowledge is key to providing better care to the pediatric patient"
