Deanach

Hi everyone! My name is Deana, 19 years old, born and raised in the concrete jungle, and striving to become a Pediatric RN. I am currently a first semester sophomore in college but unfortunately, a semester behind. I have decided to become a member of this online nursing community in hopes that I will acquire some much needed guidance and advice on my endeavor to becoming a nurse. I'm particularly interested in pediatrics because I absolutely love children and have been told to have a very motherly and nurturing personality. I love to take care of people and try to do everything to help them. At first, I wanted to be an elementary school teacher but knew that I wouldn't have patience with teaching children (this I learned from tutoring/babysitting children). Although, I consider myself to be a patient person, I can't apply my patience to misbehaving children refusing to comply with direction for such a long period of time. You may think that I would make a horrible nurse especially one who specializes in pediatrics because of these qualities but I disagree. I perceive nursing to have less hands on communication with children than teaching. I must add that I am one big kid as well. I love to make people laugh and smile. I think that these characteristics would make me personable to children. As a future pediatric nurse, I want children look forward to my visit and be able to make them laugh and smile despite the health situations they may be facing. However, first things first, lets not jump the gun here - first I need to get into a nursing program. If there are any tips, advice, or knowledge on what pediatric nursing is like PLEASE share! I would like to be fully informed and educated on my future career. Hope everyone is having a beautiful day and thanks in advance! Future Nurse Dee (love the sound of that!) :)
