Hi All,

I'm a new grad and have an interview coming up for a pediatric acute care position with ER training. I would just like some info from those nurses, new or experienced, about that area of pediatrics.

Thank you!!!!

First, congratulations! This is a very exciting time in your life! Now is where the fun begins! :D

I have been a Pediatric Acute Care Nurse for over a year and I can honestly say that accepting this position has been the best decision of my life. The floor I work on is a Med/Surg unit, meaning we care for MANY medical conditions on kids of all ages. Whether it is a 5 day old neonate with hypoxia or a 20 year old with CF, we are responsible for their care. The Acute Care setting provides excellent opportunities to gain knowledge and experience (procedures, labs, medications, etc.) all while learning to communicate with children in every developmental stage. In my opinion, Acute Care experience sets the perfect foundation for the rest of your nursing career.

I hope your experience will be as wonderful as mine has been! I wish you the best of luck!
