Pediatric Nurse Practitioners: Acute Care or Primary Care? (Full Q&A)

Nurse practitioners and faculty Kristen Brown and Lisa Stambolis represent two different ends of the pediatric practitioner spectrum — acute care and community health. But after decades spent with youth from birth to 22, in various stages of health, there’s much to talk about.

Lisa Stambolis, RN, CPNP is a community health pediatric nurse practitioner and currently senior project manager for Neighborhood Nursing, a new, nurse-led initiative for community health.

Kristen Brown, DNP, CRNP, CPNP-AC, CHSE-A, FAAN is an acute care pediatric nurse practitioner, associate professor and Associate Dean for Simulation and Immersive Learning at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing.
