What's A pediatric Research center?

     Some children's hospitals have pediatric research centers where little-understood diseases are under investigation. Pediatric research centers give nurses an opportunity to provide comprehensive care to children since the ratio of nurses to patients is high. These centers give children who are able the opportunity to have a schedule much like the one they followed at home. Careful planning by the nursing staff is necessary to ensure a child's contentment in spite of the painful intrusive procedures that must be done. A dedicated group of nurses working together can minimize the potentially damaging effects of hospitalization.

     Pediatric researcher centers also provide nurses with an opportunity to participate with other team members in the research being done, as well as an opportunity to investigate nursing problems that may arise.
