Nursing question?

Hi
Wondered if anyone could help me out with this but I would like to work as a nurse in a childrens unit when im older. I'd really like to work with people who have 'deformities' (I hate that word but im not sure how else to say it) and severe skin conditions like Epidermolysis Bullosa so that have suffered burns. What area of nursing is this called?
Im also considering neonatal nursing, pediatric oncology and geriatrics. If anyone could give me any insight into what its like being a nurse I'd really appreciate that too
thanks x

I've always worked in healthcare in a support role and currently in nursing school. I can say it will be probably the most rewarding career you can choose. Not only is the pay excellent but you can save peoples lives also. Not to mention Nursing is a HUGE field with endless opportunites, you don't even have to provide patient care if you work for other businesses. Also the nursing shortage is estimated to continue to reach record levels into 2010.
