Work with newborns, infants, toddlers, and adolescents to provide specialized levels of care. PNPs diagnose illnesses, prescribe medication, and perform annual checkups, in addition to requisitioning patient testing, and consulting with clients and their family members. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that by 2030 there will be 76.3 million children in the U.S.,* while AANP reports that only 4% of NPs are educated and certified as pediatric NPs, creating a critical shortage.** Our MSN PNP program is designed to help future NPs enhance their knowledge, hone their skills, and meet the demand in providing quality advanced care to children and their families — all without interrupting their career.

The average salary for pediatric nurse practitioners in the U.S. is $91,385***

Currently, nurse practitioners are in short supply and high demand. Join our online Master of Science in Nursing program to help fill this growing void.
