Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Information:

A pediatric nurse practitioner is a registered nurse who has received additional training and skills in the area of pediatrics. They work directly under physicians and are responsible for managing and taking care of their patients.

Their duties are not very different from an actual physician, sometimes acting as the primary caregiver for the child. They can order tests, diagnose certain issues, and prescribe some medications. The depth of their practice varies between states due to licensing guidelines.
