title: Children's nursing: lessons from the past.
abstract: This article traces the development of paediatric nursing and looks at the reasons why paediatric nurses have traditionally needed a dual qualification in adult nursing. The author argues that it is time paediatric nursing was regarded as separate from adult nursing and qualifications in both adult and children's nursing as unnecessary.
