Proposal: move to Pediatric nursing

I plan to attempt a rewrite and expansion of this stub. I think it contradicts itself, first by stating that child health nursing is different from pediatric nursing, then being the target of the Pediatric nursing redirect! Second, by the last paragraph claiming the two terms are synonymous.

I believe the more common and publicly known name for the field is pediatric nursing. It's a more inclusive term for this broad discipline, and if there is a distinction to be made with "child health nursing" (perhaps in health promotion?) then it could certainly be made within the bounds of an article on pediatric nursing.

I propose that:

Child health nursing be moved to Pediatric nursing over a redirect
the target for Paediatric nursing be changed to Pediatric nursing (currently Child health nursing)
the stub be rewritten as the basis for a more inclusive and extensive article. Cheers, Basie (talk) 10:50, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article is unsourced. It looks like the original author intended a definition that distinguished "Child health" from "Paediatrics", and then someone renamed it to include "nursing". I think the distinction, if there is one, is unimportant. Perhaps "Child health" is a little more inclusive of community care than Paediatrics, but it doesn't look like they are distinct disciplines. Looking at nursing courses or hospital departments, I see the words used interchangeably and, often, together. We have the "Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health" and a journal "Paediatrics and Child Health". Since we probably shouldn't have an article "Paediatric and Child Health nursing", I guess you've got to pick one. Colin°^Talk 11:19, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This was proposed two years ago with little discussion. Anyone else have a problem with my making the changes suggested above? Basie (talk) 20:37, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and turned Pediatric nursing into its own article, using Pediatrics as a very rough initial guide. Paediatric nursing now redirects to the new page. Basie (talk) 21:39, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's funny you should say that, because Wikipedia does have an article Psychiatric and mental health nursing! We are having a similar discussion over there. I am leaning toward using "pediatric" and "psychiatric", with redirects from "child health" and "mental health". Basie (talk) 19:21, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps we should eventually meld this article with the one under construction at Family centered care? Ks64q2 (talk) 05:28, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have no opinion on this, but whatever you decide, don't do a cut and paste move like this, which now needs to be fixed to maintain the page history. I went ahead and asked for speedy deletion so the move can be performed without loss of history. --Muhandes (talk) 08:26, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Schooling

On this wikipedia article, I changed a section that had once said "you do not need to go to College in order to become a pediatric nurse." There should be more information regarding the topic of schooling. Katietranch22 (talk) 18:12, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That section probably doesn't belong in Wikipedia anyway, since it is supposed to be an international reference. If we included specific information for one country (the US) we would need to include information for all countries, and that would probably be unmaintainable.

I added steps by paragraph including the process to become a pediatric nurse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaydaugherty (talk • contribs) 13:08, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
