educational preparation and postgraduate training curriculum for Pediatric critical care Nurse Practitioners
Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, 2010Co-Authors: Lauren R Sorce, Shari Simone, Maureen MaddenAbstract:BACKGROUND: Nurse Practitioners (NPs) in Pediatric intensive care units have increased dramatically over recent years. Although state regulations are changing Pediatric Nurse Practitioner certification, licensure and credentialing requirements, available acute care, and critical care educational programs are limited. Thus, entry-level Practitioners continue to have varied clinical experience and educational preparation. OBJECTIVE: To describe the current educational preparation and scope of practice of Pediatric NPs and provide guidelines for postgraduate training to successfully integrate NPs into the Pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). DESIGN: A group of NPs practicing in Pediatric critical care recognized the imminent need for comprehensive orientation guidelines that are readily accessible to physicians and other Nurse Practitioners to successfully transition entry-level NPs into the PICU. The NPs held many discussions to identify commonalities and differences in the education foundation in Pediatric NP programs, expected clinical experience and knowledge of NP students, and anticipated needs and gaps for the entry-level Practitioner. A convenience sample of 20 Pediatric critical care Nurse Practitioners practicing for > or =5 yrs were interviewed to examine current orientation processes for entry-level NPs into the PICU. Sample orientation guidelines, job descriptions, and procedural competency forms were collected and reviewed from various PICUs across the United States. An orientation model was drafted and distributed to a secondary panel of ten experienced Practitioners to gather expert opinions. Responses were reviewed and a revised draft of the document was distributed to a group of APNs involved in postgraduate education. RESULTS: A PICU orientation model for entry-level Pediatric critical care Nurse Practitioners was developed. CONCLUSIONS: The orientation curriculum presented here may serve as a resource for NPs and collaborating physicians who are developing a training program for entry-level Practitioners.

Defining the role of the Pediatric critical care Nurse Practitioner in a tertiary care center.
Critical Care Medicine, 2000Co-Authors: Shari L. Derengowski, Sharon Y. Irving, Pamela V. Koogle, Robert EnglanderAbstract:Objective To describe the development and implementation of a Pediatric critical care Nurse Practitioner role in a tertiary academic Pediatric intensive care unit. Data Sources Selected relevant articles from the literature. Data Extraction/Synthesis Over the past two decades, the role of critical care Nurse Practitioners in neonatal and adult settings has developed. More recently, the role has emerged in the setting of Pediatric critical care. Literature to date focuses on implementation of the Nurse Practitioner role in neonatal and adult critical care units, with limited publications on the role in the Pediatric critical care arena. In addition, information on the practice of critical care Nurse Practitioners in tertiary care centers is lacking. We therefore, sought to describe the design, implementation, scope of practice, and outcomes to date of a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner program in our Pediatric critical care unit. Conclusions A Pediatric critical care Nurse Practitioner role can be implemented successfully in a tertiary center’s Pediatric intensive care unit. However, before integration of the Pediatric critical care Nurse Practitioner into the health care team, definition of entry level requirements and the overall role with respect to scope of practice, daily operations, and professional practice is essential. Future endeavors should include evaluation of the impact of the Pediatric critical care Nurse Practitioner on patient outcomes in the tertiary care center.
