To become a pediatric nurse, you must complete additional training beyond what is required to be licensed as a Registered Nurse (RN) and may choose to earn the Certified Pediatric Nurse (CPN) credential. Educate patientsâ families and caregivers about procedures, treatments and other types of medical care.
Skin has three layers: The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. The dermis, beneath the epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands. The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made of fat and connective tissue.
The epidermis is embryonic ectodermal in origin, and they are separated by the dermis by a basement membrane. The epidermis is composed of many layers of cells forming a stratified epithelium. The cells above the basement membrane are cuboid epithelium and form an actively dividing region known as the Malpighian layer.
