"paediatric" is the original spelling and same meaning as "pediatric" -- it's just how the British spell it (same as they use "flavour" and "colour," etc.). American English drops some letters that we consider "extra" from a lot of words.

RNC is Registered Nurse Certified (in whatever specialty, it does not have to be psychiatry).
