Doctor of Nursing Practice in Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Acute Care

Our Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Acute Care (PNP-AC) track within the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree program prepares you to focus on caring for children with acute, critical, and chronic illnesses and/or injuries. PNP-ACs provide health care to children (infancy through young adulthood) and their families in inpatient, emergency, and specialty care settings. PNP-AC practice focuses on restorative and/or palliative care for children. Acute Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioners are critical to the care of children of all ages, as there is currently a national shortage in pediatric care providers. As an Acute Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, you will specialize in caring for patients who have high intensity nursing and medical needs. You will partner with patients, families, and health professional colleagues to promote self and shared management, including the treatment and prevention of disease.
