What is a registered paediatric nurse  

A paediatric Nurse or also referred to as a Registered Sick Children's Nurse (RSCN) is a highly skilled and experienced nurse. They would have a formal qualification. They care for all aspects of their little patients care, including liaising with the family, counselling the patient prior to procedures, administering medicine, reporting progress, and relieving any anxiety which the child may be faced with. 

This role is a super attentive one, as all elements of the child's well-being are assessed, including home life and family structure. The social support element of a sick children's nurse is invaluable in the treatment and recovery of their patients.  

Registered Sick children's nurse qualifications and paediatric nursing entry requirements 

Sick children's nurses are categorised by the NHS as band 6 Nursing professionals, who are newly graduated staff members who are in possession of a nursing degree and diploma, as well as post graduate courses which are approved by the NMC to specialist in Paediatric Nursing.  

Topics which would ordinarily be covered in these courses are

  • Paediatric or child development 

  • paediatric pharmacology 

  • paediatric illnesses and risk factors  

  • and the unique needs of children and their families 

Once the nurse has specialised and obtained this post graduate certification Sick Childrens Nurses would need to gain at least 6 months formal work experience working with children or in paediatric wards.
