Pediatric Nurse Practitioner

A Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP) is a registered nurse with advanced training who specializes in caring for children’s health. They can diagnose illnesses, prescribe medications, and develop treatment plans, often working alongside doctors or independently in clinics or hospitals. PNPs focus on promoting healthy development and preventing health issues in infants, children, and teenagers. They provide routine check-ups, immunizations, and health education, and are skilled in managing common childhood illnesses. Their goal is to ensure children grow up healthy and receive comprehensive, compassionate healthcare tailored to their needs.
