AACN Standards for Appropriate Staffing in Pediatric Critical Care

This resource offers guidance to improve some of the many processes that lead to appropriate registered nurse staffing in pediatric critical care. Unique factors such as patient age, developmental level and patient- and family-centered care influence patient needs and the essential competencies of pediatric nurses.
“AACN Standards for Appropriate Staffing in Pediatric Critical Care” describes seven standards for appropriate staffing and specific actions and resources to support implementation and, therefore, the delivery of expert care for pediatric patients.

These standards, together with a deep commitment to collaboration and growth from healthcare leaders, nurses and other team members, provide the opportunity for evidence-based progress that can profoundly change the healthcare system’s ability to meet the needs of pediatric patients.
