I have been a peds nurse for about 15 years. I was a peds nurse as a LPN as well. Just apply for positions, that's how I was able to obtain my job.

Not in my area. I worked for amost 10 of my 15 years as a LPN in peds.

I was only on the pedes floor for 3 days, and I didn't do much but I and O and getting stuff for patients,doing vitals and helping with assessments, and giving meds, I saw some nurses giving IV's and taking urine/feces samples, what else does a pedes nurse do?? Does the developmental stuff I'm learning in my pedes class apply at all to being a pedes nurse??

wow, sounds like an awesome job you've got there nursewah, I  only wish around here I would be able to start my career in pediatrics as an LPN but I think I have to wait to get my R. N unfortunately.  For shan, how do you remember when like they start you know like building blocks or  something like that?? That is the only hard thing in my class to remember is like when they actually start doing the different things, does it come with experience?? I remember some of it, but it is so much I don't see how any one can remember is there an easy way to remember this stuff??

Awesome, I really want to do my pedes rotation all the way over again!! I LOVE pediatrics! I can't wait till I get my RN :D
