FAQ

The main entry requirement to becoming a paediatric nurse in the UK is a nursing degree, which will require you to first obtain A-levels in relevant subjects, such as biology or chemistry.

Neonatal nurses will be the primary source of care for infants that need treatment within the hospital setting, and they’ll share information with the parents about the infant’s condition and ongoing medical support. They may also be required to perform lifesaving treatment in emergency situations, such as resuscitation and defibrillation. As such, neonatal nurses need to be excellent communicators, and perform well within high pressure environments.
