Question about pediatric nursing

Published

So, I have just applied for the nursing program here at my school, but I have a few questions. I know I have to go through this program first. However, I was wondering what I needed to do once I graduated from the nursing program. I wanted to work at a pediatric doctor's office. Do I have to go to more schooling for that. What is required? Could someone please help me? Thanks in advance!!

Specializes in Peds ER.

There is no additional schooling needed to work in a pediatrician's office. Most offices do want their nurses to have at least one year of hospital experience. You could always work on a peds floor for a year then make the switch. I guess it's possible to get a position without a year but I don't know of many. Good luck with school.

Thanks!! I'm just waiting to get a letter of acceptance from the nursing program now. However, I'm sure that shouldn't be a problem. I'm looking forward to it. Thanks again for replying.
