What do you enjoy about working with pediatric patients?

"I find such joy in caring for children of all ages. I enjoy taking care of those who can't always help themselves and may not always be able to communicate what's wrong. I can easily build relationships with children and their families, and I love being able to provide care to them when they need it most and to reassure their families that they are in good hands at our hospital."

"I have always had a heart for working with children. When I was younger, I volunteered in my church's nursery, and I was also a tutor for local students. I hadn't decided on a career path in nursing school, but as I did my clinicals in different settings, I quickly found that I most enjoyed working in the pediatric units. I love working with children and their families as we work to find out what is going on with them and then providing treatment to help them get back home."

Children are just such a breath of fresh air to me. I really enjoyed my pediatric clinical in nursing school because the kids are so resilient. I really enjoyed getting to provide them care that comforted them and helped them when they were feeling their sickest. I also really enjoyed the education and support I was able to provide to the parents.
