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 can be further subdivided into the following strata or layers (beginning with the outermost layer): 1  Stratum corneum. 2  Stratum lucidum (only in palms and soles) 3  Stratum granulosum. 4  Stratum spinosum. 5  Stratum germinativum (also called the stratum basale)
