Best Answer

A registered nurse is the basic level attained after graduating from a certified Associates or Bachelors nursing program. This means that the registered nurse has not yet specified if he or she would like to enter a specialized field in nursing. A pediatric nurse is a registered nurse trained in the care of newborns and children. It is a specialized field that a registered nurse must first train on before he or she is able to work in that specific area.

No they aren't. A pediatric nurse is a nurse who deals only with children. A nurse practitioner is basically a mini Doctor Who deals with people of all ages.
