What education or training do you need to become a pediatric nurse?
In order to become a pediatric nurse you need to volunteer at a hosptal while you are in high school. This will help with your expierience. Then before you graduate you have to take a test called the NLN which your guidance counselor can tell you about. If you look on the internet for the NLN it will surely prepare you for whats on it. Then after you PASS the test you become a RN (registered nurse) and you need to apply for Medical school which can vary from 2-3 years. After that or during that schooling you need to have your bachelors in Science and you need to get you AA degree in Nursing Science and Nursing English. The nursing AA degree in science is NOT the same as your bachelor degree in Science. Then when you are done with all that schooling you become a nurse and you can go to college for 2 more years to specialize in anything such as PEDIATRIC NURSING. Well good luck with your career, and have fun with it!
