Pediatric emergencies are low-frequency, high-stakes events, making everyday preparedness essential for every ED. This workshop offers a practical, hands-on approach to operationalizing the National Pediatric Readiness Project (NPRP) within your own clinical environment. Overview core pediatric readiness elements and explore how SimBox—an open-access, point-of-care simulation tool—can be used to strengthen clinical competence, team communication, and pediatric-specific workflows. Through interactive discussion and case-based activities, we’ll reveal system-level gaps through simulation and develop actionable, nurse-driven strategies to improve readiness, ensuring safer, more effective care for children.
