The Pediatric Nursing major prepares the graduate
for advanced nursing practice as a PNP (Pediatric Nurse Practitioner)
or Clinical Nurse Specialist. In each role, the Pediatric Nurse is
a provider of primary health care to children from birth through adolescence.
Extensive clinical experience is gained in numerous
greater Cincinnati pediatric practices and inpatient and outpatient
clinics, including one of the largest pediatric medical centers in
the country. Opportunities abound for students to develop focus areas
within the Pediatrics specialty. PNP students are eligible for national
certification. Graduates have been very successful on the certification
exam.
