What is the most rewarding aspect of being a pediatric nurse practitioner?
Hi! My name is London and I am a high school senior trying to get into an early admission track for nursing school. I am interested in pursuing a career as a pediatric nurse practitioner. I am a CNA, MA, and Sports Medicine Intern, as well as HOSA president for my high school. I have had many nurses tell me that they disliked pediatrics but I never hear anything positive about it. I would love to learn about any positive parts of being in pediatric nursing!

Hi London,
It looks like you're still waiting for an answer, and I wanted to share some info that might help. Other learners on CareerVillage have asked similar questions in the past, and I think the responses on those threads would be useful to you.
Kamauri's question (https://www.careervillage.org/questions/1102360/should-i-really-become-a-pediatric-nurse-is-it-worth-it) in particular has some good advice from pediatric nurses!
Some of the responses indicate that it's very rewarding to make a positive impact on someone's health, and it can be emotionally fulfilling to be a supportive figure to children and their families who are going through a difficult time.
