I'm a little confused by what you may be referring too. Do you mean a pediatric diabetes educator? A pediatric diabetes clinic nurse? or perhaps a pediatric inpatient endocrinology nurse?

I worked peds inpatient endocrinology for 1 1/2 years and loved it. I was primarily involved in the acute management of new diabetes and poor compliants, as well as DKA's.

It really depends on what part of the country you live in as to if they are in demand and salary. Some areas of the country do not have peds endo specialty inpatient units. Instead, the endo pts are often admitted to general peds medical floors. To get an idea of salary, I would look at what new grads start at in peds in your area.
