Karen S. Wosiski, CRNP
Pediatrics
Hello, my name is Karen Wosiski. I am a pediatric nurse practitioner, or CRNP. I first became a registered nurse after graduating from Abington Hospital School of Nursing.
I worked for 12 years as a staff nurse and then went on to earn my BSN from Jefferson University College of Allied Health Sciences. I made the decision to specialize in pediatrics and received my MSN in the Nursing of children from The University of Pennsylvania. Since then, I have taught nursing and served as Renal transplant coordinator for St. Christopher's Hospital for children.
I went back to The University of Pennsylvania for my Nurse Practitioners license and then spent 3 years in a post-master's program at The Family Institute of Philadelphia, earning a certificate as a family therapist.
During my time as a transplant coordinator, I became aware of the need for psychological support for families dealing with childhood illness. I also discovered my love for working with families over time, developing trusting relationships, and watching children grow.
Pediatric primary care has been a perfect fit for me.
I have been fortunate enough, in my work as a pediatric nurse practitioner, to get to know families from the birth of their infant to their child graduating from College. It has been an honor to help them remain healthy, assist in health crises, and help manage ongoing chronic illnesses.
In my last position, I worked in primary care at Laurel Pediatrics for 17 years. Because of my mental health skill set, I was able to do behavioral evaluations, manage ADHD, depression, and anxiety, in addition to the daily sick and well children that I met and cared for each day.
I am excited to be part of Advocare Fairmount Pediatrics.
It is a dynamic team with three locations. Their impressive facilities include a lab, lactation consultant, psychologist, and nutritionist, as well as experienced and caring providers and accessible staff.
I love going to work each day, meeting new children, managing their care, teaching where necessary, and forming bonds with families.
It's a joy to be a trusted part of the team that cares for your children.
I look forward to meeting you soon.
