Pediatric nursing

Pediatric nursing is a specialized area of nursing that involves providing care for children from infancy through adolescence. Pediatric nurses often work in a team of pediatric healthcare professionals. This includes pediatricians, pediatric specialists, and other pediatric nurses, to provide care for children in various settings such as hospitals, clinics, and pediatric offices.

Overview

Pediatric nursing is not just about administering medications and performing procedures, but also about understanding the child's developmental stages, promoting health and wellness, educating families, and advocating for children's rights and safety. Pediatric nurses often have to use different strategies to interact and communicate with children of different ages, and also to support the family members.

Roles and Responsibilities

Pediatric nurses perform a variety of tasks including:

Conducting physical examinations
Giving vaccinations
Administering medications
Interpreting diagnostic tests
Developing and implementing care plans
Providing education to families
Advocating for the child's needs

Education and Training

To become a pediatric nurse, one must first complete a nursing program to become a Registered Nurse (RN). After gaining experience in pediatric nursing, one can pursue additional certification as a Pediatric Nurse (PN) or a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP).
