Pediatric nursing or child health nursing is the specialty nursing care of infants, children and adolescents. A nurse who specialises in this area is usually referred to as a pediatric nurse, though there are many regional and sub-specialty variations in title. The spelling paediatric nursing is more common in English-speaking countries outside the United States.
The breadth of this field of practice may be considered as similar to that of adult nursing, with an equivalent sub-specialty for most adult illnesses and some unique areas of practice. For example, pediatric cardiology and oncology are both established sub-specialties in most major pediatric facilities.
