What steps to take to be a pediatric nurse practitioner?

Hello!

Here are some of the  qualities needed to be a good pediatrician:

• Listening skills, which are needed to obtain medical histories from parents, as well as decipher a child's explanation of their symptoms and ailments.
• Excellent communication skills, to explain a diagnosis and procedures to parents (and in many cases, children and adolescents).
• Patience and a good attitude, to deal well with children who are often apprehensive when visiting a doctor.
• Is highly observant, and able to recognize subtle changes in a patient's condition to know when it's time to act accordingly. This quality also helps a doctor solve complex diagnostic problems.
• A compassionate nature, as both parents and children are in need of reassurance and empathy during examinations and treatments.
• Demonstrates easy accessibility, as emergencies often occur with younger patients. Pediatricians are often on-call, answer questions from panicked parents, and admit children into the hospital, when necessary.
