Interview Time

I thought it would be a wonderful idea to interview one of my favorite nurses that I work with!!! This lovely lady is named Joni Neese, she is an LPN about to finish school for her RN.
I took the time to ask her a couple questions about nursing to get a good outlook on what to expect.

Question 1: How was nursing school for you?
Answer: Nursing school was a challenging experience but I learned a lot.

Question 2: What made you become a nurse?
Answer: Well I thought to myself, I'd make a pretty damn good nurse, because I feel that I am a very caring person and hard working. I love taking care of people.

Question 3: What's the toughest thing about being a nurse?
Answer: Knowing that you have someone else's life in your hands.

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.

Fact about Pediatric Nurses

Besides getting to care for appreciative patients, pediatric nurses enjoy slightly higher salaries and greater income potential than some of their peers. 

If I were to choose what field I would work in when becoming a nurse it would have to be in pediatrics. I absolutely love kids and having one of my own makes me want to be in that field more.

Why I Chose Nursing

I have been in the nursing field as a C.N.A for about three years now. I help the elderly with things they can no longer do on a daily basis. Caring for someone and helping them when they need it the most is something I really enjoy doing. It's really rewarding getting to take care of someone and knowing that they appreciate everything I do for them. Patience is another thing I have and I believe that nurses need a lot of patience when dealing with the patients or even the families of the patient. Just what I have seen and learned at my job I do believe I could make a wonderful nurse.
