Abstract
The paediatric nurse practitioner (PNP) is an advanced practice nursing role aimed at providing high quality care to children of all ages. Paediatric nurse practitioners are credentialed to provide a wide range of services dependent on their role as a paediatric nurse practitioner, i.e. primary care, acute care or neonatal. There are two possible paths that can be taken to become a paediatric nurse practitioner: the traditional path or apply for direct entry nursing program after completing Bachelor’s degree. This article describes the path to paediatric nurse practitioner practice.
