Abstract
The nurse practitioner plays an important and unique role in delivery of high-quality pediatric palliative care. The combination of their nursing roots, advanced education, and training makes the pediatric nurse practitioner well-suited to excel in the domains of palliative care clinical practice, education, and outreach. This will be highlighted through case examples that encompass the early lifespan and include pediatric subspecialties commonly served by palliative care.
