A majority of children are healthy and never hospitalized in acute care settings. With the challenges faced in the delivery of pediatric nursing education, is it reasonable to continue to insist that all nursing students have an acute care pediatric nursing experience? This article presents arguments for the need to re-envision pediatric nursing education to use limited pediatric nursing faculty and pediatric clinical sites in innovative ways to maintain high-quality outcomes for undergraduate nursing students. The article outlines issues, provides ideas, and advocates for increased use of available innovations. Virtual learning communities and a wealth of other new technologies provide new and inventive ways to deliver essential content. Pediatric nursing leaders need to demonstrate new pedagogies and discourage teaching specialty content in the same manner it has been taught for more than 40 years. The challenges are important to practicing nurses as well as academic faculty because of the implications for the future nursing workforce in pediatric settings and healthcare of children.

It is imperative that nurses caring for children, young people and their families develop and maintain effective, trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationships that sit within the scope of professional boundaries. This relationship is the nurse's responsibility and should be positive and mutually acceptable to all stakeholders. A unique challenge for children's nurses is to address and prioritise the child's care needs, while meeting the needs of, and empowering, the family. The 6Cs--care, compassion, competence, communication, courage, commitment--should underpin care and enable nurses to overcome challenges such as time pressures, acute situations or disturbed family expectation. Confidentiality and safeguarding should always be observed.

In Italy the regulatory framework of the nursing professions presents critical aspects. While a Children Nurse cannot provide care to an adult, a newly graduated General Nurse can legally be assigned to a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit without having ever touched a newborn before. Italian general hospitals with pediatric departments almost always prefer to hire General Nurses rather than Children Nurses, because the former, albeit insufficiently prepared, make staff management easier for nursing directors. Italian Children Nurses are not only penalized by this situation, but also by the public's lack of interest in the specific wellbeing and health needs of children. In addition, they must defend themselves from a part of the Italian nursing leadership, which periodically tries to eliminate the pediatric nursing profession. In an environment that is essentially hostile to Children Nurses, the young who decide nonetheless to take up this profession have very strong and enduring motivations.

Review
Background Examining nursing pedagogical strategies is important to assure that nursing students have opportunities to become knowledgeable and skilled clinicians. However, little is known about the nursing pedagogical strategy of using schools for pediatric practicum. The purpose of this review is to integrate the evidence regarding the use of schools as practicum sites for nursing students to obtain pediatric clinical experience. Method Searches were conducted in three electronic databases resulting in 70 publications; eight publications met the inclusion criteria. Results Five themes were identified using content analysis: description of practicum settings; level of education, number of students, clinical time and geographic region of the college; theoretical framework; nursing student activities and assignments; nursing student outcomes, evaluation of pediatric practicum experience, and school student health outcomes. Conclusion Findings support the use of schools for pediatric practicums. This practicum broadens nursing students' knowledge of promoting health among well and chronically ill children.
