Children and young people’s (CYP) nurses care for all ages, from new born to adolescent, with a range of physical, emotional and mental health needs. CYP nurses  work closely with family members and carers to reduce the impact of being ill or in hospital. This exciting Children's Nursing BN (Distance Learning) programme will provide you with the knowledge and skills to successfully graduate as a registered children’s nurse, and you will undertake practice placements in community and hospital settings with our partner organisations within Wales, with experiences in a range of CYP health care related areas. You will access placements across all the three parts of your course and experience a range of areas across Wales such as hospitals, special care baby units, hospices, mental health services, community children’s nursing teams and specialised paediatric intensive care units.
Registered nurses’ learning is supported throughout their careers through, initially preceptorship that offers the structured support needed to successfully transition your knowledge into everyday practice, and through continuous professional development. 
As a children’s nurse you will care for children across the age spectrum and with a wide variety of needs. You will work in partnership with family members and carers to reduce the impact of being ill or in hospital and providing comfort and reassurances to patients and their parents or careers in difficult or stressful circumstances. The role is highly rewarding and can also be challenging in today’s fast changing health care environment. Working in collaboration with other healthcare professionals, children’s nurses work in a variety of settings that follow a patient’s journey away from home, close to home or in the home giving you real variety in your career.
The role of the children’s nurse is varied and includes health promotion and preventative health programmes, investigations, diagnosis and treatment (medical and surgical), emotional and mental health support and many other interventions and therapies. Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), practice nurses, health visitors and school nurses are some of the healthcare personnel who work with children, young people and their families in the primary care setting.
The Children's Nursing BN (Distance Learning) degree will prepare you to become a CYP nurse who is able to demonstrate critical thinking skills in relation to complex healthcare issues and the health and wellbeing of children, young people and their families. It will allow your compassion to thrive within an evidence-based approach and it will enable you to make a genuine impact on the health and wellbeing of babies, children, young people and their families. 
As you progress through your career, there are plenty of options available and you may wish to specialise in an area such as: 
  • neonatal intensive care 
  • paediatric oncology 
  • burns and plastics 
  • child protection/safeguarding 
  • ambulatory care 
  • asthma 
  • orthopaedics 
  • diabetes 
  • continuing care for children with special needs 
You may choose to work in management, teaching or clinical research. 
Bangor accepts applications for nursing courses throughout the year, while places are still available. As this pathway is highly competitive, we recommend applications are submitted as soon as possible.
Elements of the course can be available through the medium of Welsh and you’ll be supported to access the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol incentives. For more information on the School's bilingual provision click here
