Specializes in Complex pedi to LTC/SA & now a manager.

All US states require nurses to be generalist trained with theory & clinical hours in adult, pediatric, geriatric, maternity/OB and mental health.

There are very few schools that will permit you to just take the pediatric theory & clinical as schools integrate required learning into the curriculum.

Most state boards of nursing have a list of approved nursing programs. You could try contacting nursing schools and explaining your dilemma to see if they would be willing to accommodate your needs
