Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP)

A Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP) is a registered nurse with advanced training who specializes in caring for children's health. They can perform exams, diagnose common illnesses, prescribe medications, and offer health advice, much like a doctor. PNPs work closely with families and healthcare teams to promote healthy development, prevent illness, and manage chronic conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. They often practice in clinics, hospitals, or community settings, providing comprehensive, patient-centered care tailored to each child's needs. Their goal is to support children's well-being and assist families in navigating health concerns confidently.
