I'm a new grad, I've been working with my RN license since Jan of this year.
I work in an all free-standing pediatric hospital (no adult care at all) and I love it. The children are great, staff is awesome, and I feel like I am in my second home when I go to work. couldn't be happier.
I work in the orthopedic/surgical floor on nights. and it is awesome. I love the patients there. (no seizures, cancer, or unstable patients!)
so what kind of pediatric specialty do you work in?
For our BSN program, only the students who reached a certain level of competency on a practice med-surg NCLEX-type exam get to choose a specialty, everyone else has to do med-surg.
Hello, this might be a dumb question but i tried looking it up before asking and couldn't find the answer i needed so i'm just gonna ask it: what is a "freestanding hospital"? for anyone who can give me the answer thank you!!

As opposed to a peds floor (or several floors) in a hospital that also has adult patients. Usually called "XXXXX Children's Hospital" or some such.
