When I Grow Up Hi! My name is Emily and I want to be a pediatric nurse when I grow up. What interests you in becoming a nurse? I find it very fascinating how the human body functions. Seriously, our bodies are so cool! Everything from why we have freckles to how our heart pump blood throughout our entire body is miraculous, and being a nurse will give me the opportunity to learn more about the human body. What are you doing to prepare to be a nurse? Name: Emily I took a class my high school offers called Health Professions. This class taught me basic skills like CPR and how to take vitals.
