A member asked:

I want to go back to school to be a nurse practitioner, but can i choose to be an acute care nurse practitioner instead of a pediatric np ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Be what you want!: After basic NP coursework and training, you should be able to pursue any specialty path that appeals to you, and in turn engage in more directed specific training for that field. Congratulations on your decision, and GOOD LUCK!
