Summary
Defining pediatric nursing excellence (PNE) is crucial for quality care. The Society of Pediatric Nurses developed a PNE Model to identify key characteristics and improve recognition for pediatric nurses.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Nursing
- Nursing Excellence
- Healthcare Quality Indicators
Background:
- Pediatric nursing excellence (PNE) is frequently discussed but lacks a clear definition.
- Existing recognition systems are not tailored to the specific needs of pediatric nursing.
- There's a need for pediatric-specific quality indicators to recognize PNE.
Purpose of the Study:
- To define the construct of "pediatric nursing excellence" (PNE).
- To develop a comprehensive Pediatric Nursing Excellence Model.
- To establish a basis for pediatric-specific quality indicators.
Main Methods:
- Initiation of a project by the Society of Pediatric Nurses (SPN) in 2020 to define PNE.
- Development of a visual Pediatric Nursing Excellence Model.
- Publication of the model with definitions for 16 core concepts.
Main Results:
- The SPN published its Pediatric Nursing Excellence Model in 2022.
- The model visually depicts the components of PNE.
- The model defines 16 concepts integral to pediatric nursing excellence.
Conclusions:
- The developed PNE Model provides a clear framework for understanding and recognizing pediatric nursing excellence.
- This model can guide the creation of pediatric-specific quality indicators.
- The model has potential applications in professional development and recognition within pediatric nursing.

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.
