I am 15 years old going to be 16 next month. I do like to be near children and I do have a lot of experience with baby and toddlers. I like helping others when I can. in my free time I like to relax and watch movies with my brothers and sister. I also like going outside and take my two dogs fo a walk. #nurse #health

Jami’s Answer

A pediatric nurse is a registered nurse (RN). A pediatric has simply chosen to go into pediatrics as a specialty. All RNs have that option- in fact there are many specialties an RN can go into; ICU, med/surg, oncology, pediatrics, surgery, cardiac, etc.

All RNs will have to complete prerequisites and a nursing program and then take state boards called the NCLEX. It is your choice if you want to get an associate's degree, a bachelor's degree, or even a higher level of education. Most RNs start with an associate's or bachelor's degree though. A bachelor's is preferred for many hospitals.

Hello Mayra. Based on your interest in working with children and your experience in working with them, a pediatric nurse could be a better fit for you. I would recommend shadowing both a pediatric nurse and a register nurse to see which career you would like better. You could also research the job descriptions of both and decide which one interests you more.
