Therefore, it is vital that links are made to children's biology and development, family needs, legal issues and problem solving but until now, it has been hardto find all this in one place. Clinical Skills in Children's Nursing is designed for children's and general nursing students in second year onwards to facilitate the transition from closely supervised beginners, to qualified professionals.
