Peds + Adult Medsurg overflow

Specialties PICU

Published

Hi! I’m going to be a new grad nurse here soon and I am very interested in pediatrics! However, there are no children hospitals near me. Our only Peds experience around here are units that are basically medsurg but will also take the Peds patients if/when there are any admissions (never have seen more than 3 on the unit at once). Does anyone work on a similar unit? I’m just curious to learn more about how that works combining adults + Peds, ratios, if it’s worth working medsurg just for Peds experience, etc.
