I think the practitioner is more like a GP... you would go in and they'd diagnose/prescribe. A Pediatric nurse is a nurse that would be in the community or in a hospital.
Also, the practitioner is more likely to be specialised, eg. in epilepsy or a certain condition.
I live in London so that's what it is here

A Pediatric Nurse Practitioner is a nurse who take extra studies to treat a patient without the doctor being present. They can basically do anything a doctor can except operate.
