As an RN at a pediatric clinic, you provide patient care for infants and children. In this role, you may train other clinic staff to perform specific tasks, ensure compliance with all safety protocols, and perform a variety of tests and procedures. Pediatric nurses also help communicate with children, who are sometimes too sick or too afraid to clearly explain their problems and symptoms. Many pediatric nurses also educate parents and caregivers about common and chronic conditions, with a particular emphasis on prevention. Most RNs who work in pediatric clinics specialize exclusively in this area because families usually want specialists for this role.
