(or PNP) is a registered nurse (RN) who has
experience in pediatrics, has completed a formal education program, at a master's or
doctorate level, and a great deal of hands-on training. All PNPs must pass a national
certification exam and are required to complete additional continuing education yearly to
assure quality care. The PNPs are available to see infants, children and adolescents for well exams as well as
sick visits. In this expanded role, PNPs make independent decisions about patients' health
care needs. Nurse practitioners also work in cooperation with the physicians when medical
backup for patient care decisions is necessary.
