As the number of Nurse Practitioners (NPs) in emergency departments across the country continues to grow, so does the need for strong, well-resourced faculty to educate and mentor the next generation of Emergency Nurse Practitioners (ENPs).
If you’re an ENP faculty member — or stepping into that role — you’re not alone. AAENP is here to support you and your program every step of the way.
A Community Just for ENP Faculty
We know that being ENP faculty comes with its own unique challenges and rewards. That’s why AAENP created a Special Interest Group (SIG) specifically for ENP educators. Whether you’re looking to collaborate, problem-solve, or simply connect with others who “get it,” this SIG is your space.
From virtual conversations to in-person meetups at regional and national AAENP events, you’ll find your people — all passionate about advancing emergency care through education.
