About Peds Med/Surg per diem work
Pediatric med-surg nurses care for infants, children, and adolescents admitted for medical treatment or surgical recovery. Typical duties include age-appropriate assessments, weight-based medication administration, IV management, and post-operative care — always alongside family-centered communication, since parents and caregivers are part of every care plan.
Per-diem pediatric med-surg shifts typically arise on children's units within general hospitals and in dedicated pediatric facilities, with seasonal swings (such as respiratory season) often driving extra demand. The specialty suits clinicians who combine strong clinical fundamentals with patience and clear communication for young patients and their families.
Credential and licensure expectations vary by state and care setting, and typically include:
- Active RN license for the state where the shift is located (state requirements vary)
- BLS certification is commonly required; PALS is frequently requested
- Recent pediatric acute-care experience is typically expected
- Some units also request ENPC or pediatric-specific competencies
