Overview
- The M.Sc. Nursing (Child Health Nursing) programme at Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Institute of Nursing is a two-year postgraduate course designed to provide advanced theoretical knowledge, clinical skills, and research training in pediatric and child-health nursing.
- Students specialise in caring for infants, children and adolescents — learning growth and development assessment, neonatal and pediatric nursing care, pediatric diseases, health education, and preventive as well as therapeutic child-health interventions. The course also emphasises research methodology, enabling graduates to contribute to evidence-based pediatric nursing practices.
- Since the institute is attached to a teaching hospital / clinical setup, students get hands-on training in pediatric wards, NICU/neonatal care units, child-health clinics, and other relevant hospital environments — facilitating practical experience alongside academic learning.
- On completion, graduates are prepared to assume specialist roles as pediatric nurses, neonatal or child-health nursing practitioners, clinical instructors, researchers, or educators in pediatric nursing, contributing to improved child-health services.
