Do you like being a nurse?

Nursing is a great career! Pediatrics is doubly challenging, because along with the tiny patient you care for, you often will have the patient's parents or other family members to ist through the illness or wellness of the child. Sometimes you will not agree with the parenting methods of your patient, and that can be difficult. However, it is a very special calling, and if you feel pulled in that direction, I would certainly encourage you to pursue your goal. Nursing is a great career for anyone wanting to have a rewarding job, financially as well as spiritually. Everyone says not to get emotionally involved, but I think that is intensely difficult. You have to be able to leave the job "at the office" or you will surely burn out in a hurry from the stress of dealing with people in pain, who are often desperate for a happy outcome, and who sometimes do not get what they wish for. Good luck!
