No, the quality of a doctor is not determined by their gender. Both male and female doctors can be highly skilled and provide excellent medical care. The most important factors in being a good doctor are knowledge, experience, communication skills, and empathy, which are not limited by gender.

Yes, pediatricians can work in hospitals. They may provide care to children who are admitted to the hospital for various medical conditions and illnesses. Pediatricians also collaborate with other healthcare professionals in the hospital setting to provide comprehensive care to their young patients.

The availability of becoming a pediatrician varies depending on factors such as the number of medical school spots, residency programs, and job openings in a given area. Overall, the demand for pediatricians remains high due to the need for healthcare providers who specialize in the care of children. However, competition can be stiff, and it typically requires several years of education and training to become a pediatrician.

A regular pediatrician will probably not be able to earn as much money as a bilingual pediatrician! it is better if doctors know 2 languages so that if a teen is having problems and they speak only 1 language they can help out and not need a translater.

A nurse practitioner does not have M.D. (medical doctor) degree and does not have the needed education to be a pediatrician which is a medical doctor.

Nurse practitioners (also referred to as advanced practice nurses, or APNs) have a master's degree in nursing (MS or MSN) and board certification in their specialty. For example, a pediatric NP has advanced education, skills, and training in caring for infants, children, and teens.

Licensed as nurse practitioners and registered nurses, NPs follow the rules and regulations of the Nurse Practice Act of the state where they work. If accredited through the national board exam, the NP will have an additional credential such as Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (CPNP) or Certified Family Nurse Practitioner (CFNP).

In addition, they have different tracks of education. The physician is trained in the medical model, and the nurse practitioner in the nursing model.

Depending on where you practice. In Academic programs it is usually around 160,000 to 180,000 and in private practice from 250,000 to 300,000.

If in USA, and you are city person, you want to be in a college or university that is central in a nice city like San Francisco, LA, Miami, Orlando, Washington D.C, NYC, Boston, or Chicago. But something that you definitely want to know about the place is the climate. If you dont like cold, definitely forget about Chicago and probably Boston too. If you hate too hot, forget about Orlando and Miami. You should look up the climates of the cities. Also find out about public transportation, or your way of getting around either with a car or a bike.. Let's say you are planning to get a bike from your parents as a high school graduation gift. Now, San Francisco is a city where you might have a hard time driving a bike, especially if you are a blond girl :D just kidding, I'm sure there are blond girls who can use vehicles (AHHAHHAAH no way!!ahaha everyone know that!)

First off, elementary school. Then, if you learn how to spell basic words, you can go to high school. If you learn how to spell "Pediatrician" correctly, then, possibly, depending on your marks in Science, you could be accepted to a pre-med, then medical school. Good luck!

Obviously all Spanish language courses that you can take, but some other valuable courses would be any Spanish or Latin American history and literature courses. Additionally any other language study would be good for you. Finally, take any education methodology course you can, it will help you tremendously.

Peds is a just a speciality, after you're already a nurse. You can get your RN with an Associate's Degree (2 yr)or Bachelor's Degree (4 yr.) Getting your RN is faster with the 2 yr, then you can always finish your Bachelor's online....you must have the RN to get the BSN online though! Most tech schools (2 yr Associate's) will take you no matter what your SAT's are.

There are many duties that a nurse will provide to produce excellent patient care. * Triage -- this is where the nurse will take in your info when you arrive at a department, and they will categorize or prioritize according to the severity, and the complications of a particular injury or ailment. Some people may be taken in first, if the problems are high risk of spreading, or if the injury or illness is very severe such as uncontrolled bleeding, unexplained rashes, unexplained vomiting etc. * Establish IVs or other medical devices -- this is when the nurse will establish the system that goes into your hand, arm, leg, or other parts for medications, and also for fluids to keep you hydrated * Follow the doctor's orders -- this is where the nurse has to follow the doctors orders that have been left and update the doctors with new suggestions, or ideas of patient care. This may include coordinating tests such as blood, diagnostic imaging, biopsies etc. * Dispense Medications -- medications come in many different formats such as by mouth, by skin, through your IV, by inhaling, rectally, and many other types of suspensions. * Inserts catheters -- this is where they insert catheters when someone can not go to the washroom themselves, or if something has got to drain properly. * Provide Emotional and Physical Support to Patients and their families -- this is EXTREMELY important as the patients are in a very vulnerable state, and the families are not too far behind them with being very fearful of how things will turn out. * Transferring -- when a patient needs to go from bed to a chair or a wheelchair, and then a wheel chair to a shower, or wheelchair to bed etc. Many days, especially in today's society, nurses have the contraption that will assist with the ability to be able to lift without hurting their back. * Personal Hygiene and Dressing-- the patients have a difficult time with these tasks, and will occasionally have problems with, and may be ashamed to ask for help, but say kindly that you're there for them, and that you're willing to do anything that might make it a bit easier for them. * Provides small procedures -- there may be sometimes where the nurse will have to suction the throat, change a dressing for instance and so on. This gives you a little bit of a lead of what nurses actually do.

Yes, because no one can work 365 days a years without significant mental, physical and emotion breakdown. Most vets work 5-6 days a week in practice and usually receive 5 days vacation a year after being with a practice for a year. However, the actual schedule and number of days off varies depending upon the practice and the contract negotiated by the veterinarian.

A pediatrician basically works with infants and small children. They check the infants to see if they are growing properly, give vaccines, treat babies with colic etc. A pediatrician is a doctor that specializes in helping out young children.

To become a pediatrician you must complete both a primary degree, a bachelor's degree, and a secondary medical degree. Although most colleges and universities do not offer bachelor's degree's in Pre-med, majoring in biology or chemistry can be very advantageous to getting into medical school. Amherst college, Cornell University and Johns Hopkins are particularly well known for their high admittance rates to medical schools. Once you have completed your bachelor's degree you then apply to medical school to become a pediatrician. For example John's Hopkins University has a medical school.

To become a pediatrician, you need to graduate from college, then graduate from medical school, and then complete a pediatrics residency program. In total it takes about 11 years after high school to become a pediatrician.

There are a lot of reasons why someone might choose against a career in Pediatrics or medicine in general. These include: * the long years of being in school, including 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school and at least three years of an internship and residency

* the debt that many medical students build up to get through school. Depending on whether you go to a public or private medical school, you might pay from $24,553 to $37,445 a year, and you will likely end up with an average of about $90,745 in debt.

* reports of the crisis and rising cost of malpractice insurance, with some doctors in high risk specialities, like neurosurgery and obstetrics paying over $100,000 a year. Pediatrics is generally considered a low risk area of medicine and traditionally have low malpractice insurance costs.

* the hassels of dealing with managed care and health insurance companies. * While this can be difficult to deal with, it is more of a problem for older doctors who remember the 'good old days' when they didn't have to deal with HMOs.

* the difficulty of completing an internship and residency, where you might work more than 80 or 120 hours a week and 36 hour shifts.

* Discouraged yet? Well you shouldn't be. There are many more reasons why a career in medicine, and especially Pediatrics, would be a great idea.

It is true that there are many years of school, but is that really so bad? After college, if you compare someone who goes straight to work with someone that goes to medical school, which one is going to get extended time off for Spring Break, during the summer, and for major holidays? Reviewing this curriculum outline from The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, you can see winter and spring breaks and 10 weeks off during your first summer.

And you might build up some impressive debt in medical school from student loans, but you will have plenty of time to pay it off and you will likely make a more than comfortable living. The average starting salary for primary care physicians is about $120-130,000, and up to $150-200,000 after three years.

Worried about long hours during your internship and residency? While you may have some long days and weeks, in reality, if you do have to work that long, it will only be for a few months out of the year, when you are in a difficult month, such as the intensive care unit. There will also be many more months, especially on electives, when you work just 40 hours a week.

What are the other benefits of being a Pediatrician?

While you may have to deal with managed care and insurance companies, you also have a lot of flexibility and independence in how and where you practice. You can start your own office and be your own boss, join a group of doctors and share some responsibility, but in general, still be your own boss, or work for somewhere else and totally leave the trouble of running a business to them.

Want to work part-time? Not a problem. About 15 percent of Pediatricians work part-time, leaving you more time to stay home with your family or persue other interests.

As you have to do when choosing any career, you have to decide if you would enjoy the day to day duties of being a Pediatrician. This includes working in the hospital, taking care of sick children in the office, and counseling parents about raising happy and healthy children.

And Pediatrics isn't all runny noses and ear infections. As a Pediatrician, you can be as challenged as you want to be, taking care of kids with complex medical problems like diabetes, depression and asthma, instead of simply referring them to a specialist. Don't like babies or toddlers? Then Pediatrics probably isn't for you, although you could work more with older children and teens.

Don't like learning? Then Pediatrics and medicine isn't for you. Although you learn a lot in medical school and during your residency, one of the greatest challenges of being a doctor is that you have to continue learning new things as you practice.

How do you know if you would like to being a Pediatrician? The easist way to know would be to spend some time with a Pediatrician. Spend a few days in a Pediatric office following a Peditrician around and making rounds in the hospital.

Although you will likely come across some doctors who will try to discourage your from choosing a career in medicine, you would likely be getting advice from someone who chose the wrong career themselves. Personally, I love being a Pediatrician, and it almost doesn't seem like 'work' when I go to the office each day. Okay, 4 days a week. I'm off on Wednesdays.

To become a cartoonist, I think you would need to have a very creative personality. Though it's not exactly an artistic talent, you'd have to be a fairly social character with a good sense of humor. You need to be able to draw funny pictures and make them colorful.

Colleges that offer two year programs are more likely to be career focused and usually offer more certificate/Associates programs so that students can enter the work force quickly (generally these include nursing certifications, computer certifications, and many mid-and-entry level jobs). Four year institutions usually grant Bachelors and Masters degrees for those who aspire to professions in the legal field, medical practitioners such as surgeons, and teachers.

The best states to earn a Pediatrician salary are Kentucky$196,210, Iowa $206,390, Nebraska $200,280, Minnesota$199,440, and Arkansas $196,360.
