Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) offers a Certificate in Child Care Nursing Course. This course is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills to provide comprehensive care to children and their families. The course focuses on the physical, psychological, and social needs of children and their families. It also covers topics such as nutrition, growth and development, immunization, and child safety.

The course is divided into three semesters. In the first semester, students learn about the fundamentals of nursing care, including anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology. They also learn about the principles of child health and development, and the role of the nurse in providing care. In the second semester, students learn about the assessment and management of common childhood illnesses, as well as the principles of infection control. The third semester focuses on the management of chronic and acute conditions in children, and the role of the nurse in providing family-centered care.

In addition to the classroom instruction, the course also includes clinical practice. Students gain hands-on experience in a variety of settings, such as hospitals, clinics, and community health centers. This allows them to apply the knowledge and skills they have learned in the classroom to real-world situations.

The course also includes a student-run club, the JNU Child Care Nursing Club. This club provides students with the opportunity to network with other students and professionals in the field, and to participate in activities such as field trips and seminars. The club also organizes events such as conferences and workshops, which provide students with the opportunity to learn more about the field of child care nursing.
