I am currently a junior in high school and interested in majoring in Nursing in college. My goal is to become a Pediatric Nurse, but I have a question that no one has been able to answer yet. In order to become a Pediatric Nurse, do you have to go to graduate school? If not, do you have to take special courses to specialize in pediatrics? I would imagine you need to take some sort of course at the minimum because children are different than adults, but I have a friend who said her daughter works at the childrens hospital as an RN- she said she did NOT have to take any further courses/education. Help!
