How to Answer
Depending on the services a facility provides, some pediatric nurses may be expected to assist with well child exams and/or give immunizations.

1st Experienced Example
"Yes, I actually worked in a primary care physician's office and I was the Kidmed nurse for that office for over a year. I love children and being able to educate parents and children on safety and wellness measures is a nice alternative to caring for patients who are always sick."

2nd Experienced Example
"At the current time I have not completed wellness exams or immunizations on pediatric patients. I have done both for adults though. I am eager to learn and I am a very driven nurse. If assigned to a well-child clinic I would review the aspects of a well-child visit to ensure I understand my role and the expectations clearly. I will also familiarize myself with the differences in giving injections and immunizations to children versus adults."
