From day one, I’ve been thankful for my job at VIVA Pediatrics. The hiring process was easy and the schedulers have always been a pleasure to work with. I love my schedule and that my time spent working is an investment in not only the life of a child, but the health of a family. VIVA enables higher levels of patient advocacy by having a regular relationship with the patient to gain a healthy, fulfilled life.

My peers and I have swapped horror stories of first jobs with inadequate training, orientation promises not kept, unsafe nurse to patient ratios, and situations of very little patient care and very much paperwork. Now, I am proud to tell my peers that Viva Pediatrics requires testing and check-offs, provides trach and vent training, ample training and orientation on new cases, and no pressure to take cases that put nurses or patients at risk. Viva is allowing me a great opportunity to transition from teaching children with special needs to nursing children with special needs, and I am extremely grateful! I appreciate the confidence they have shown in me.
