I am the mother to a child who was born with health problems. She had kidney failure and we were told several times that she would not come home with us. Luckily she made it through and is now at home. This event in my life actually has made me want to become a neonatal or pediatric nurse. The nurse that helped us greatly made me want to pursue this career. The nurses are who helped me get through the most trying time of my life.. I greatly encourage you to look into working with pediatrics. You will be amazed at how rewarding it is.
