Joshua Moore

I am dedicated to pediatric nursing and have spent my career specializing in pediatric critical care. I am an experienced Acute-Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner who currently works at Virginia Commonwealth University in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. I have built a strong reputation for establishing rapport with my patients and their families as well as achieving high levels of patient satisfaction. This reputation and satisfaction has been dependent on my ability to collaborate as a team with both my nurse and physician colleagues to deliver the elite care our patients deserve. As an advanced practice provider, my goal has always been to bring my knowledge, expertise, and passion for pediatrics to every patient I care for. I am committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based, collaborative, compassionate care to my role as an Acute-Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner.
