Interested in being a PED's Nurse in either NC or SC

[MariaB01]

I would really love to go to school in NC or SC and become a Pediatric Nurse. I would like to hear what it is like for nurses who live in these places. I would actually really enjoy to hear what you do and how many hours you work. I would also like to know how exactly does it work after nursing school. Can I get a job in PED's right away or will I have to gain experience first? I've read a couple of things but I'm a little confused. It's a long ways away and it's a lot of change for me but I'm very excited. I would also like to hear what you did in school. Did you start at a four year college or did you transfer credits from a smaller school and then transferred into a four year university. It's a lot but I hope I get to hear a variety of responses. Thank you so much.
