Call the director of nurses or the social worker at the places you’re interested in & ask. They’d have to ask parents if you could visit the kids though. I’ve worked in peds before(not oncology) & the staff would probably appreciate some help. Keep in mind it’s not for everyone & can be a bit of a strain on the heartstrings. Most nurses burn out working peds after a couple years & move about for a change. It would be good experience if you’re considering a career in healthcare. Good luck.
