AB  - INTRODUCTION: Practice research serves as the certification framework for 
      validating advanced practice roles and updating national qualifying examinations. 
      This national study describes the current practice of the acute care pediatric 
      nurse practitioner (AC PNP) to inform an update of the Certified Pediatric Nurse 
      Practitioner-Acute Care (CPNP-AC) examination content outline. METHOD: A 
      descriptive analysis was performed of the responses of 319 pediatric nurse 
      practitioners, practicing in an acute care role, who completed a practice survey 
      in 2014. RESULTS: Respondents were primarily White women with a mean age of 40 
      years; 75% had been formally educated as AC PNPs, compared with 48% in 2009. 
      Regional practice was most heavily concentrated in the Southeast (28%) and 
      Midwest (27%). Most respondents (81%) practiced in urban areas. Respondents 
      reported spending 75% of practice time in inpatient settings. The most frequently 
      cited areas of practice were critical care (36%), followed by emergency 
      department (9%) and subspecialty practices. DISCUSSION: This third analysis of AC 
      PNP practice 10 years after initiation of the CPNP-AC certification examination 
      demonstrates changes in clinical practice and educational preparation.
