Does one absolutely need to be good under pressure and stress to be a pediatric nurse? If so, is it possible to improve how you handle pressure?

I am absolutely in love with working with children, as I have a part time job after school at an elementary school. I know that this is what I should do with my life. But, I have always been set on nursing and I am also totally in love with that. Pediatric nursing seems like the absolute perfect job for me and I feel so much excitement for this career. But, I am not very good under stressful situations and I can't handle gross things all that well. Should I consider another career path? Or is it possible for me to improve both of these obstacles?

As pre-med student, is it more beneficial to attend a cheap, less prestigious university or a more expensive university with a better pre-med program?

At one institution, I received a full-tuition scholarship, and it's close enough that I can live at home. However, it has limited pre-med opportunities outside of the curriculum. At the other institution, I received zero financial aid but was accepted to a prestigious honors pre-med program with multiple benefits (guaranteed freshman research positions, smaller classes, capstone program, etc.). I'm majoring in biochemistry in both, with plans to go to medical school to become a maternal-fetal medicine specialist. Is it more worthwhile to avoid debt at a smaller school with fewer pre-med opportunities, or invest in a school with abundant opportunities?
