Learn more about Pediatric Nursing (Nurse Practitioner) Specialists and how to choose the right one for you

A pediatric nurse practitioner (NP) is a healthcare provider who specializes in the health needs of infants, children and adolescents. Pediatric NPs practice a mix of nursing and medicine, often in collaboration with a doctor, to provide children with a wide scope of care. This includes comprehensive well-child care, as well as prevention, diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic conditions.

Pediatric NPs practice in different ways depending on the specific state, setting and specialty. You can find a pediatric NP in any setting where children receive healthcare, including doctors’ offices, schools, clinics, hospitals, and community health settings. Some pediatric NPs have private practices, while others work as part of a group practice or a hospital or clinic healthcare team. Like all healthcare providers, pediatric NPs work collaboratively with doctors and other providers as needed or required by their state.

  • Provides routine childhood and adolescent healthcare services including immunizations and sports and school physicals
  • Orders and interprets laboratory and imaging tests and prescribes medications

  • Screens, treats and monitors a range of chronic childhood health conditions, such as diabetes and asthma
  • Performs minor procedures including removing foreign objects (such as splinters) and stitching lacerations
