I have been interested in pediatric nursing for a while now, but I want to make sure that is what I want to do that will fulfill my desires for a career. I want to help children who are chronically ill. (Auto-immune system diseases, diabetes, MS, fibromyalgia, etc.) I want to be able to counsel them and help them through it but I also want to medically help them as a nurse would do. I know this is vague, but as you can see I just want to find a career that would allow me to help these kids or medically help them. (or both).
I feel like nursing is my best option and I am interested in working in the short stay unit where kids get treatments or come out of surgery. Is there another area of specialization that would be similar to what I want to do?
