Pediatric Nursing – What Does It Involve?

Pediatrics Question — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 20:29:51 +0000

Hi there
I know I want a career with children, I want to help them – I have 2 young boys 2 1/2 and 1 1/2, I’ve thought of Early Childhood teaching and play therapy etc for children, but at the top of my list is Pediatric Nursing (i think thats the right word??). However, I wouldn’t mind knowing what a typical shift would involve….
Do you comfort the child? Get to spend time with them? Or is it more a medical kind of thing… I want to help the kids (physically but mainly mentally even if it comforting them in bad situations, I am not at all worried about blood etc). Can nursing provide this?
I hope you know what i mean! Dont mean to insult anyone I just want a clear idea of what it involves?

Physical Therapy Volunteer Hours? Best Time And Types…?

Pediatrics Question — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 20:24:15 +0000

Hello,
I am planning on going back to school for physical therapy and had a question about volunteer hours. When should I do them? I am going to need to go back to undergrad and take about a year’s worth of prerequisites. Is it best to begin my volunteer hours before I start taking them, during school, or should I wait until I finish my prereqs in order to get a better understanding of the human body and medical issues that warrant physical therapy?
Also, what different types of areas do you recommend I volunteer for? I am going to be volunteering next week in a pediatric outpatient clinic. What other areas should I consider? Does it matter where I volunteer? Should I seek out the most prestigious PT clinics in my area?
Thanks to all who reply.

What Should I Major In To Become A Pediatric Ot?

Pediatrics Question — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 08:27:08 +0000

I’m still in high school but I’m already thinking about my future.
What should be my major in college if I plan on going to becoming an occupational therapist?
My guess is physcology, but I’m not sure.
I haven’t taken phsycology in high school so I don’t know how good I am at it. Science isn’t my favorite subject though.
I do know that I want to work with kids that mentally challenged, like kids with down syndrome or autism. And I think Pediatric occupational therapy seems like the right job for me.
I just need to know where to start.
Can anyone help?
Thanks so much. I appreciate your help.

Pediatric Speech Therapist Or Pediatric Physical Therapist?

Pediatrics Question — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:22:12 +0000

I am in my Sophomore year of college as of right now. I just declared my major with a BA in Psychology. I’m not too sure about what I want to do as of yet. I know that with whatever I choose I will be in school for awhile. If I do decide to go into Pediatric Speech Therapy or Pediatric Physical Therapy what would I change my major too? or would I be able to take undergrad work in it after I get my BA in psychology? Also, which job is better? I think I may want to become a child psychologist but lately I’ve been changing my mind about things. Should I still pursue Child Psychology?
