What do Critical Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioners do?
Critical Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (PNP-CCs) are advanced practice registered nurses who specialize in caring for acutely and critically ill children from birth through adulthood, often in intensive care units (ICUs), cardiac clinics, and trauma units.
They diagnose and manage complex, life-threatening conditions, interpret diagnostic tests, and provide critical support to patients and their families in high-stress, complex situations.
This role typically requires an advanced education, such as a master’s or doctoral degree. It often involves specialized training, which usually leads to board certification and high demand in the healthcare field.
