常见问题解答

Frequently Asked 问题

的 biggest step to becoming a pediatric nurse practitioner is to earn a Master of Science in 护理 (MSN) or Doctor of 护理 Practice (DNP) in a PNP型 concentration. 的 basic steps 包括:

  1. Underst和 the role of a PNP型
  2. 成为注册护士 (if you aren’t already)
  3. Choose primary or acute care
  4. Enroll in an MSN program
  5. 得到认证
  6. Meet all state requirements
  7. Find your first PNP型 job

这在很大程度上取决于你所在州的护理委员会的规定. In some instances, it may be permissible for PNP型s to see patients past the 18-21 年龄 range who are typically transitioning from pediatric to adult care.

儿科执业护士与家庭执业护士的区别 is the patient population. 儿科NPs只关注儿科患者, while FNPs provide care across the lifespan, including adults 和 elderly patients.

If you are also interested in treating older patients—和 not only children—you may choose to work towards becoming a family nurse practitioner.

目前的注册护士有可能在2-3年内成为儿科执业护士.

  • Associate degree RNs can complete our Accelerated RN转MSN-PNP型 program in as few as 28 months
  • 学士学位注册护士可以在24个月或2年内获得MSN-PNP型. BSN nurses may also elect a BSN到DNP-PNP型 program, which can be completed in as few as 32 months.
  • 硕士学位注册护士可以在短短20个月内获得邮政硕士证书

For those who have yet to become an RN, you’ll need additional time to first earn an 联系学士, or master's degree in nursing before pursuing an MSN.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics在美国,所有专业的护士从业人员的平均工资为 $128,490 每年($61.78 每小时).* Aver年龄 pay can vary based on many different factors including prior experience, type of medical institution, state of employment, 还有更多.

Advancing to nurse practitioner allows you to exp和 your skillset 和 potentially earn greater autonomy in your work. 虽然这两种类型的护士都与儿科患者一起工作, most of the differences relate to the general difference between the RN 和 NP roles.

A few of the biggest differences between RN 和 NPs 包括:

  • 执业护士可以作为初级保健提供者, 和 can potentially spend more time with patients 和 build longer-term relationships
  • Nurse practitioners can prescribe medications
  • 执业护士可以诊断病人并撰写治疗方案
  • 执业护士可以更好地平衡工作和生活, 因为他们可以更好地控制自己的工作时间

Working with kids can be incredibly rewarding—particularly for primary care pediatric NPs who can help their patients have a healthy childhood 和 grow from infancy, through adolescence, 和 into adulthood.

Even within pediatrics alone you’ll encounter great patient diversity in the 年龄 range from birth to roughly 21 years old. Every day will bring new challenges with young people at different st年龄s of development 和 health issues for you to solve.

While there are many different 护理儿科病人的护士类型, there are two specific types of pediatric nurse practitioners: primary care pediatric NPs (PNP型-PC) 和 acute care pediatric NPs (PNP型-AC).

PNCB Pediatric 护理 Demographic Report, published in December 2022, states there were 20,254 certified CPNP型-PC professionals 和 4,419 certified CPNP型-AC professionals. Most CPNP型-PCs work in private practice, 而大多数CPNP型-ACs在儿童医院从事住院治疗工作.

A pediatric nurse practitioner (PNP型) is a specialized Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) who cares for newborns, 婴儿, 蹒跚学步的, 青少年, 和 young adults.

因为他们的病人年龄从婴儿到年轻人不等, PNP型s work with both the patient 和 their family to provide the right resources 和 care, including education 和 emotional support.
