    AbstractThis study describes current trauma nursing education requirements and nursing perception for additional pediatric trauma education. A web-based survey was electronically distributed to members of Society of Trauma Nurses. Overall, a lack of consistent standards across the United States for what constitutes pediatric trauma education was noted. Many hospital trauma programs expend time and money developing their own hospital course. Strong support exists for the development of an additional pediatric trauma course with a skills station. Basic concepts of primary/secondary survey, airway management, and fluid management for hypovolemic shock should be a high priority within this curriculum.
