What is an Advanced Practice Pediatric Nurse?


i want to know what an advanced practice pediatric nurse is and what the difference between this and a Pediatric nurse and a Pediatric nurse Practionier. any info and or a website to get this info would be great. thank you.

An Advanced Practice pediatric nurse is the same thing as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner for the most part (unless they are a pediatric nurse specialist). This is a midlevel position, that is a masters (after a BSRN and some experience), and functions more like a doctor--diagnosis, see patients, write prescriptions etc, usually in an office practice (but can be hospital based depending on the hospital).
A pediatric nurse--is a nurse that works in the hospital usually with children--doing nursing care tasks. This is a LVN/LPN or RN position with the 2-4 years nursing school.
So one is more like a doctor, and the other is a nurse.
