Introduction
This unit prepares the Registered Nurse to provide comprehensive and therapeutic nursing care to critically ill newborns, the growing premature infant, and their families. The student will critically reflect on contemporary neonatal nursing practices and the assumptions that underpin them, through the lenses of families in their care, evidence-based literature and the self. Application of theoretical knowledge and skills is gained by providing competent nursing care for infants and families in the specialist clinical environment.
