Pediatric and Maternal-Child Nursing
Third semester is an interesting tour of pediatric
nursing and an in-depth overview of maternal-child obstetric nursing. The
pediatric nursing rotation will include a special education rotation with
developmentally challenged children, a clinical hospital pediatric rotation,
and hands on experience in an immunization clinic. All aspects of a child's
growth and development from the newborn infant stage throughout the life span
and into adulthood will be thoroughly covered. Childhood diseases, common
birth defects, and health management and/or corrective procedures are outlined.
The maternal-child obstetric rotation includes
a 2-day visit to the Better Babies Clinic in Chico, a clinical hospital rotation
in an Obstetric department, and lectures covering conception through birth
and postpartum. OB clinical education will include participation and assistance
in live births, fetal heart monitor, and starting and managing intravenous
devices. Third semester is an excellent preparation into all areas of pediatric
and OB nursing.
