Pediatric Special Needs

or

Pediatric Acute Care

and later postmasters in genetic nursing

Depends what program I can get into. I didn't think about nursing until I had a son with a rare disorder and disabilities that passed away. Now I work as a care tech for people with disabilities, and love it. I'm getting an associates in disabilities mgmt. and a cert. in early childhood intervention while doing my prereqs. There's no doubt in my mind I want to work in peds:redbeathe

Specializes in Trauma, Neuro, M&S ICU.

Pediatrics!! Kids are so much fun, and I am just a big kid anyway too. I enjoy being around children with their carefree attitudes, and not understanding consequences helps me get through with what they are dealing with. However, I understand that I will not be treating the child, but instead that childs parents. From what I have heard from other Ped. nurses that is the hard part, but I know I will enjoy it.

Post Anesthesia Care Unit

I had a few surgeries and would understand what patients go through coming out of anesthesia. Had great nurses taking care of me.

You can always borrow mine :jester: (Just kidding)

Today when I picked up my son I received a detailed demonstration of "armpit licking"....he is eight. And if it is anything like with the parents of boyscouts at summercamp....you will have your hands full with the parents, that's for sure. Good luck :wink2:

Specializes in NA.

:redpinkhe I will definitely become an Oncology/Hematology nurse one day. I am a cancer survivor myself, Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and have lost several family members and friends to all sorts of cancers. They are opening a new cancer center in my town and I was chosen as one of the ground breakers with the help of my 2yr old. When I decided to go into nursing, I had decided I wanted to work with cancer and blood disordered patients. There is such a need and it will only grow. I feel that I can empathize with these patients, and I want to be the one they rely on much like I did with my illness. These patients become family, though many don't make it, it would be a wonderful feeling to make life as pleasant as I can for them.

I haven't completely decided yet. I have it narrowed down to:

Midwifery - nursing first turned my head when my daughter was born in 2000. I had a midwife for both of my babies and I am in awe of the whole birth process.

Psychiatric nursing - psychology was my first major in college and it still holds a strong interest for me.

Pediatric oncology - my grandfather died of laryngeal cancer over the summer, which gave me an interest in oncology nursing. Combine that with a love of children and seeing several parents I know dealing with cancer in their children and you get pediatric oncology.

I still have a long way to go in school. This is my second year of pre-reqs and I am hoping to get into the program next fall or spring. I plan to start with the ADN, then get the BSN, and then finally choose a specialty area and get the MSN. I figure that I have plenty of time to worry about the specialty later. ;)

Specializes in NICU.

NICU - it is my calling. :) Seriously, I know that sounds corny, but it truly is and has always been, it just took me a while to quit procrastinating!!!

However, I am 4 months into my first year as a nursing student now and really liked the time I spent in the nursing home, so even though I know I will end up in the NICU at some point in my life, it is nice to know that I enjoy the other aspects as well! There is definitely something to be said for Gerontology, it is unique and wonderful, the patients melt my heart!

Specializes in Medical-Surgical, Hemodialysis.

I honestly don't have a clue. I'm sure that things will fall into place as I go along. Right now I'm more interested in getting an A in A & P I than I am in picking a specialty. That's just me though.

Taking it one step at a time is a good idea
