Pediatric Nursing Clinical for IEN

Kylie, that sounds like a great way to make sure your peds knowledge base is a good one. Will CARNA still expect an SEC after that, or will passing it be good enough? (It should be. It better be!)

AussieKylie,

Hello. How long will your pediatrics and Obstetrics course will take?
How much is the payment for the course?

aussiekyle,
thanks. wish you luck. . .

Kids have great bs detectors. They can read adults pretty well. It's usually the parents that staff can have problems with. Once they turn 16/17 they hit the adult floors and the parents can overwhelm us.

The course will introduce you to the medications and the appropriate calculations. They are not all that complex. More a case of ratios to weight/ml/rate.

The course will also teach the baseline norms for the various age groups.

I remember meeting my first child patient in an out of hospital job and though "what do I do now". It's just different values for BPs, pulse, resps. The fun ones are the ones who talk to you.
