Pediatric nurse practitioner (PNP) curricula were updated to reflect the expanding scope of practice. Revisions incorporated graduate, employer, and alumni feedback alongside traditional standards for improved PNP education.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Pediatric Healthcare
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • Traditional pediatric nurse practitioner (PNP) curricula relied on professional organization guidelines for core knowledge.
  • The scope of pediatric health conditions managed by PNPs has significantly increased beyond established core competencies.
  • Existing curricula may not adequately prepare PNPs for current practice demands.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To revise PNP curricula to align with the evolving role and employment needs of practitioners.
  • To ensure PNP graduates possess the necessary knowledge and skills for contemporary pediatric healthcare.
  • To enhance the relevance and effectiveness of PNP educational programs.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted surveys of PNP alumni and employers to gather practice-based insights.
