What's the difference between PICU and NICU nursing?


September 19th, 2022

Neonatal ICU is only neonates. Can be born from 22 weeks gestation and up depending on the level of NICU the hospital may have. My NICU is a level III NICU, and we have babies born from 22 weeks gestation to term.

Pediatrics can be from a year old to, I believe, 17 or 18 years old. The age range is very wide.
