What is the NAPNAP Pediatric Nursing Micro‑Credential?
A micro‑credential is a short, competency‑based recognition that validates specific skills or knowledge. It offers a flexible, time‑efficient alternative to traditional degree programs.
The NAPNAP Pediatric Nursing Micro‑Credential will be available to first‑level, general nurses (RNs) in any country who complete:
- A series of online learning modules covering essential pediatric care topics
- A competency‑based assessment that verifies pediatric nursing knowledge
The program framework is aligned with established pediatric care principles while acknowledging differences in healthcare systems and practice environments around the world.
With extensive experience in global credentialing and workforce development, TruMerit ensures a secure, reliable, and accessible assessment process for nurses everywhere.
Why this micro‑credential matters
Across many health systems, there is a shortage of nurses with specialized pediatric training—yet general nurses play a critical role in caring for children in a wide range of clinical settings.
This micro‑credential provides an opportunity to:
- Strengthen knowledge in evidence‑based pediatric care
- Demonstrate competency through a recognized, formal assessment
- Improve health outcomes for children and families
- Support workforce readiness and mobility in emerging and established health systems
By validating pediatric nursing knowledge globally, the program helps expand and strengthen the workforce caring for children and young people.
Who should consider this credential
- Nurses working in general practice settings
- Nurses providing care for children without formal pediatric training
- Nurses seeking international job opportunities
- Health systems wanting to upskill their workforce
Program status
The NAPNAP Pediatric Nursing Micro‑Credential is currently under development and expected to be available in mid‑2026.
Additional details will be shared as development progresses.
