Overview

Graduates will provide direct patient care management such as performing in-depth physical assessments, ordering and interpreting results of laboratory and diagnostic tests, and ordering medications and performing therapeutic treatments. Management of health and developmental needs of infants, children, adolescents, and their families is also emphasized. The online format means working nurses do not need to give up employment or relocate to the Atlanta area to become an Acute Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner at Emory University.

The Acute Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner program from Emory University is individually tailored to meet each student’s unique needs, whether through clinical placements or clinical preceptors who meet each student’s particular educational needs. Students are provided with a broad range of clinical experiences by rotating through a wide variety of specialty well-child and acute and critical care clinical sites.

Career

The program prepares students to take the pediatric acute care nurse practitioner certification exam administered by the Pediatric Nursing Certification Board (PNCB). Graduates provide comprehensive, holistic, family-centered, and developmentally based care to children and their families in rural, underserved, and metropolitan inpatient health care centers. Former students are employed as practitioners in pediatric care units, renal and cardiac transplantation units, PICUs, ERs, and other health care settings.
