Start your online pediatric nursing course
with experienced educator Paula Ruedebusch, DNP
Nurses can have a huge impact on children’s wellbeing in clinical settings by advocating for them and addressing the specific needs of their age group in their care. A big challenge in pediatric nursing is that children are not just mini-versions of adult clients: there are significant anatomical and physiological differences between children and adults to keep in mind.
This course covers the most important pathophysiologies that affect the different pediatric age groups: from infections and common ear, throat, and respiratory disorders, to issues related to the cardiac system, GI tract, fluids and electrolytes, and neurology. You will also discuss inborn errors of metabolism and blood disorders. Paula Ruedebusch, DNP, will use her experience to teach you the assessment skills you need specifically for pediatric patients.
An adaptive learning algorithm, downloadable Cheat Sheets, and a NCLEX-style Qbank are part of the learning platform, boosting retention and understanding. By the end of this course, you will have a comprehensive understanding of pediatric conditions and how to care for newborn clients up to the age of 18.
