Discussion on Pediatrics Topic: what do pediatric endocrinology nurses do

Hi PedsRN! As a former pediatric endocrinology nurse, I can tell you that we play a crucial role in managing and monitoring our young patients' hormonal health. We often work with kids who have diabetes, growth disorders, and thyroid issues, among other conditions. Our responsibilities include administering medications, monitoring blood sugar levels, educating families on disease management, and providing emotional support to patients and their families. It's a rewarding, yet challenging, field that requires a lot of patience, compassion, and specialized knowledge.
