Apr 26, '12 by PedsNP2013Well said!!! I have been a peds nurse for 6 years. You hit everything. Also nursing students that don't want to deal with adults and want to go into peds....even in a pedi hospital you will end up having an adult as a patient at some point...i had patients in their 30s, 40s, ,mid 50's! And some parents can be very overbearing and yell and curse at you. I've had a father spit in my face and a mom try to fight me. Its crazy sometimes but i love caring for children and their families i keep coming back for more LOL. -

After almost 3 years in nicu/peds I had my first parent yell at me the other day, have never had that experience before but I think I handled it well at least. Then her 12 year old proceeded to throw his incentive spirometer at me! She didn't even say anything to him! Goodness, it was a go home and drink wine kind of nightGold_SJ likes this. - Apr 27, '12 by PedsNP2013Quote from umcRNWell said!
