Maternal-Child Nursing examines the normal developmental tasks and related health needs and issues of childbearing and childrearing.

Normal growth and development theories are applied to age appropriate care to the acutely and chronically ill child. Students use evidence-based practice to apply the nursing process in providing care to patients.
