  The approach to the nursing of children has undergone a quiet revolution in the past 10 years, culminating in the development of the new curriculum for the P2000 branch course. This text is the product of that curriculum development, and is designed for use by students and registered nurses opting for this branch. Registered nurses converting to become children's nurses may also find this book useful. The text adopts the new holistic approach to caring for the whole child, including more information on normal child development, and the role of the family. This approach is combined with a very practical and comprehensive section on caring for the sick child. The text is research-based, cites references and gives rationales for care - reflecting the contemporary drive to underpin nursing skills academically.
