Modernising nursing careers: implications for children's nurses.
The future direction of pre-registration nursing education in the U.K. is once again under review with two consultation documents published by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). Pre-registration programmes need to prepare nurses who are able to provide holistic care to children, young people and families across all settings. In 2003 a position statement from the Royal College of Nursing proposed a model that encompassed: a foundation shared with other professionals involved in the care of children and young people, general nursing of children and young people, as well as theoretical and practical experience in public health, mental health and learning disability nursing of children and young people. This model is recommended as the way forward to ensure children's nursing is fit for the future
