Pediatrics is an exciting and rewarding field, much like any other medical practice. You'll have the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse team of professionals, including nurse practitioners, physicians, and various ancillary departments. A unique aspect of pediatrics is the increased interaction with parents or guardians, as children often need assistance in expressing their concerns and/or keeping them healthy.
Your role will be pivotal in maintaining their health through vaccinations and extensive educational efforts. The provider will focus on the medical model, delving into anatomy and physiology. Meanwhile, as a nurse, you'll spend a significant amount of time explaining the child's condition, the treatments being administered, and what the future might hold. This approach underscores the nursing model's integration for the benefit of the patient and their family. Your work will make a significant difference in their lives, offering them comfort and understanding in times of need.
