Pediatric Nurse Directory
National Pediatric Nurse directory
Find a pediatric Registered Nurse for newborn, infant, child, and adolescent care. Every listing is license-verified against the state board of nursing.
Directory listings are self-reported and cross-checked on a rolling schedule — they are not an official licensing or certification record. Always verify credentials independently through the relevant state board of nursing, Nursys, or the issuing certification body before making a care, hiring, or referral decision.
What is a Pediatric Nurse?

Pediatric RNs work in children's hospitals, neonatal and pediatric ICUs, primary care offices, schools, home health, and specialty clinics. Many hold the Certified Pediatric Nurse (CPN) credential.
