I'm a clinical research nurse. I believe you would be best served in this role by completing your RN degree. I know different institutions vary with pay, but mine compensates well for the RN degree vs the coordinators who aren't RNs.
I've been an adult nurse for 14 years. I bounced between ER and pre/post caths and op surgery. I've always wanted to do peds and my town just built a peds hospital. I applied and got a job working on a general med/surg floor starting next month. I'm really nervous and feel like I'm starting at the beginning again. I just wanted to know if you could share something you wish you had known before you started working in peds?
