Nursing School

The timeline for becoming a registered nurse (RN) varies according to what type of formal education program an individual chooses. Aspiring RNs have their choice of 2-year associate's degree programs or 4-year bachelor's degree programs in nursing to gain training in this field; less commonly available are 3-year diploma programs held at hospitals.

What Do Pediatric Nurses Do?

As a pediatric nurse they generally first monitor their little patient. Checking their heights, weights, and development milestones. With doing so they are making sure their patients are growing and developing not only physically, but mentally as well. Pediatric professionals also check the patient over for any signs of illness or other issues to ensure that they are as healthy as possible. 

They also administer vaccinations, making sure that their patient is up to date with them.
