A Pediatric Nurse Expert Witness is an RN or an CPN. Pediatric Nurses specialize in caring for patients/children from birth up to adolescence.

Pediatric nurses provide comprehensive healthcare by evaluating and documenting patient symptoms, checking their vital signs, completing diagnostic tests, administering medication, drawing blood, giving vaccinations, educating parents about the child’s health or injury or illness.

Pediatric Nurses have tremendous patience and compassion, their aim is to provide their patients an overall positive experience and help them through what may be perceived as an intimidating situation.

This makes them exceptional communicators and gatherers of information from children. Pediatric nurses often are very creative and use various techniques to comfort and win the trust of their patients. They possess great time management skills; dealing with children can be time consuming and demanding; they’re expert at juggling patients and administrative duties. Their work can be often challenging yet rewarding as well.

Pediatric Nurses also educate and develop a care plan for the family about healthcare needs of a chronically ill, differently abled and/or a child recovering from a surgery.
