Need to interview Pediatric nurse for project


I need to interview a pediatric nurse for my third quarter project. (that is due in four weeks) I would like to discuss patient / family teaching since I have to teach my class as if they were my patient. I believe that I would like to discuss vaccinations and why they are important since I feel that topic is important.

Rachel, I'm a ER nurse but see lots of pedi pts, could you do something like fever control? The subject of vaccinations is touchie, Many Parents are refusing for fear of autisum. We are not allowed to "teach" these parents, they have the right to refuse. Seems like teaching tylenol/ibuprofen/pushing fluids would be short and sweet, adding a bit about febriel seizures (bonus) We have so many parents that come to ER and have not treated a fever because "I wanted you to see how high it is" I will believe you..... not treating can cause major problems, and it just makes the child feel bad longer, I can't tell you the number of times a limp kid comes in, and just treating the fever you have an active kid in an hour.

I never thought about doing that for a project. It sounds interesting and it would be a good learning experience for me. If I post questions would you be able to answer them for me? (I can't pm until I have 15 posts.)

Can you do both sides of the vaccine issue? I'd be glad to tell you why I refuse certain vaccines and it doesn't have anything to do with autism.

I may be able to cover that in my paper but I would have to cover in the education portion why they are recommened and the state parents do have the right to refuse. I have also refused a vaccine for my youngest because of a timing issue.
