Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (PNPs) provide comprehensive primary and specialty care to infants, children, and adolescents. They diagnose and treat illnesses, conduct physical exams, order and interpret tests, and prescribe medications. PNPs also focus on preventive care, health education, and developmental guidance for families. They often work in hospitals, clinics, and private practices, playing a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of young patients. This role requires advanced education, typically a Master's or Doctorate in Nursing, with a specialization in pediatrics. Strong communication, empathy, and critical-thinking skills are essential for success in this field.
