Pediatric nurses are registered nurses that deal with young patients and the demands and anxieties of their parents. Nurses who specialize in caring for children of all ages, from birth through adolescence, in various healthcare settings. They provide preventative and acute care and must have knowledge of child growth and development since health conditions and diseases often present and are treated differently in children than in adults.

Some healthcare employers may prefer pediatric nurse job candidates with Basic Life Support (BLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS),Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition and Stabilization (PEARS), Pediatric Nursing Certification (PED-BC), Certified Pediatric Nurse (CPN) or Certified Specialist in Poison Information (C-SPI), and some may even require specific professional certifications.

Having a Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition and Stabilization (PEARS) validates your knowledge and skills as a pediatric nurse and your dedication to continuing your education in your chosen field. All of which makes you a more desirable job candidate to healthcare employers.
