Welcome to the Department of Pediatric Nursing at Tadikela Subbaiah College of Nursing, a specialized division dedicated to the unique and often challenging field of caring for children from infancy through adolescence. Our department is committed to preparing compassionate and highly skilled nursing professionals who can provide expert care to children in various stages of health and illness.
The healthcare needs of children are distinct from those of adults, requiring specialized knowledge in growth and development, common childhood diseases, immunization, nutrition, and family-centered care. Our program is designed to equip students with the necessary competencies to address these specific needs with sensitivity and proficiency.
What We Offer:
Child-Centric Curriculum: Our comprehensive curriculum focuses on all aspects of pediatric nursing, including well-child care, acute and chronic childhood illnesses, developmental assessment, pediatric emergencies, administration of pediatric medications, and the psychosocial support of children and their families.
Experienced Faculty:Students benefit from the guidance of our experienced and passionate faculty members, who possess extensive clinical experience and expertise in pediatric nursing. They are dedicated to mentoring students and fostering a deep understanding of child health.
Advanced Learning Resources:We provide access to modern learning facilities, including simulated pediatric care units and specialized laboratories, where students can practice essential skills in a safe and controlled environment before engaging in real clinical settings.
Clinical Exposure:Through strong partnerships with leading pediatric hospitals and child healthcare centers in Shivamogga and the surrounding regions, students gain invaluable hands-on experience. They learn to manage a diverse range of pediatric cases, interact with families, and contribute to multidisciplinary healthcare teams under expert supervision.
Family-Centered Care Philosophy: A cornerstone of our teaching is the emphasis on family-centered care, recognizing the vital role families play in a child's health and recovery. Students learn to communicate effectively with parents and guardians and involve them in the care process.
Advocacy and Holistic Care:We instill in our students the importance of advocating for children's rights and well-being, promoting health, and providing holistic care that addresses not just physical health but also emotional and developmental needs.
The Pediatric Nursing Department at Tadikela Subbaiah College of Nursing is dedicated to shaping future nursing leaders who are not only clinically competent but also deeply empathetic and committed to improving the health outcomes of children and supporting their families. Join us in making a profound difference in the lives of the youngest members of our society.
