A paediatric nurse focuses on providing medical care to children, right from the infant stage to teenage years. Due to the rapid growth that occurs during childhood, the health of children is distinct from that of the adults and therefore requires special care, which a paediatric nurse is qualified to offer. As a qualified pediatric nurse you may later choose to specialize in a particular field related to child-healthcare, for instance, neurology, oncology, anaesthetics, etc.

Some of the responsibilities of a pediatric nurse include:

• Carrying out physical exams and diagnostics.
• Acting as communicators with medical staff and the family of the child.
• Handing mental wellbeing of children.
• Offering counselling when needed.

Selection of the candidates shall be based on the merit in the Entrance Examination held by university or competent Authority.
