Nursing Training
Nurses at Akron Children's Hospital are committed to providing high-quality nursing care, using the latest techniques, technology and equipment, while at the same time creating a warm, nurturing environment for children and their families. We achieve this commitment by delivering family-centered care and support services designed to ease the burden a child's illness can place on the family as a whole.

Nurses here act as teachers and problem-solvers, helping families learn more about their child's illness and how to manage it. These efforts are complemented by the work of child life specialists and social workers. These health care professionals help children and their families understand and cope with the stress of illness. They also work with families to identify their special needs and point them toward community services and resources that may be helpful.
