Exploring Child-Centric Specialties in Nursing

Nursing is a very important job in the medical field and is projected to grow in certain aspects over the next few years. There are multiple sub-careers to go into and some are more general than others. The options go from children to elderly people and dealing with all different types of diseases. There are even specialties for different organs in the body of one’s geared more towards female’s or male’s. I am undecided on which specialty to choose however, I know that I would like to pick one that concerns children due to the fact that ever since I myself was a young adult I have always loved children and taking care of them. Nursing has multiple specialties to choose from that involve children such as, a Midwife nurse, neonatal nurse, and a pediatric nurse.

I would need to provide emotional and mental assistance to the mother throughout the pregnancy as well as, while she is in labor. As a midwife nurse I would be able to educate the mother on what to do physically to benefit herself and the baby. A major benefit that would come with choosing to be a midwife would be that I would be working one on one with the mother with no interference or I would work with a Physician. Becoming a midwife is appealing to me because I would get to work in the child aspect of the medical field and I would get to help the mother at the same time. In addition to this I would have the pleasure of getting to see the entire process through. From caring for the pregnant mother to seeing the baby
