Through interdisciplinary collaboration, pediatricians, pediatric nurse and pediatric nurse practitioner educators and clinicians design and evaluate the unique certification and maintenance activities of the PNCB. The Board of Directors of the PNCB appoints pediatric nurse practitioners, pediatric nurses, pediatricians and educators known for their knowledge, expertise and skill in pediatric health care to serve on the various exam committees of the PNCB.

There are certain values which need be understood. The cardiac output (CO) is the volume of blood leaving the heart each minute. The stroke volume (SV) is the amount of blood ejected with each beat. By definition, the value of the cardiac output is equal to the stroke volume multiplied by the heart rate (HR). In the majority of patients, if the heart rate falls, the stroke volume will increase to maintain the cardiac output. In certain examples, however, the muscle of the ventricles is noncompliant and the stroke volume is unable to change, causing the cardiac output to fall when the heart rate falls. These examples include multiple myocardial infarctions, chronic cardiomyopathies in neonates. Therefore, neonates cannot tolerate bradycardia (a slowing of the heart rate) since it results in a precipitous fall in CO." http://home.coqui.net/myrna/shock.htm ****************************************************** Facilities: Cornell University Medical College: Pediatric Pathology http://edcenter.med.cornell.edu/CUMC_PathNotes/Pediatrics/Pediatric.html ****************************************************** Journals: Journal of Pediatric Health Care: http://www.mosby.com/pedhc ****************************************************** Journal of the Society of Pediatric Nurses: The official journal of the Society of Pediatric Nurses, is a peer-reviewed journal. http://journals.elsevierhealth.com/periodicals/yjpdn RSVMD.com...

After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses." Nurses Station P.O.
