Introduction
The Advanced Pediatric Nursing subject consolidates the pediatric contents taught during previous undergraduate courses, delving into concepts and serious or infrequent pathological processes, as well as advanced or specific medical-surgical techniques. Likewise, it provides advanced tools for the management of nursing care in the physiological and pathological process of all stages of pediatric age.
Pre-course requirements
The review of anatomical-physiological and pathophysiological knowledge of the different systems of the human body is required during all stages of pediatric age. Likewise, knowledge of pharmacology, dosage and routes of administration.
The Department of Nursing in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences has agreed that it is compulsory for all students taking a Bachelor's degree in Nursing, when participating in online classes, to turn on their camera and remain visible to lecturers and professors at all times.If there are students in self-isolation due to the COVID-19 health and safety measures, who cannot physically attend class at the University like their peers, teaching staff will carry out online teaching during this isolation period only so that the student(s) in question can attend their classes online. The rest of the students will have to attend their classes in person in the classroom.
