Abstract
This article discusses the results of a workshop designed as an action research
cycle to ascertain what matters most in the practice of nursing children in South
Africa today. The workshop was convened at the University of Cape Town (UCT), in
order to guide and direct the newly established post- basic, children’s nursing pathway
in the Bachelor of Nursing for Registered nurses [BN(RN)] programme. The
participants were eight experienced paediatric nurses, currently practising in a variety
of settings in the Western Cape. The results show that the participants move
from their original task- and procedure - based perspective to a more processive
one in which the focus of the learning is relational, emphasising the family and culture
of the child.
