About the Pediatric Acute Care Program
Our program equips students to care for infants and children with complex and rapidly changing clinical conditions across acute care settings. The pediatric nurse practitioner-acute care major is designed to prepare students to meet the needs of infants and children with complex and rapidly changing clinical conditions across acute care settings. Emphasis is placed on family-centered, culturally sensitive care. As a graduate of the PNP-AC major, you are prepared to work with patients and families in a variety of pediatric acute care settings including specialty clinics, in-patient/hospitalist services, emergency departments, intensive care units, and as a part of critical care transport teams.
