Emergency Nurse Practitioner

The Post-Graduate Emergency Nurse Practitioner (ENP) Certificate Program prepares Family Nurse Practitioners (FNPs) and eligible FNP students to deliver high-quality, timely, and comprehensive care to patients across the lifespan in a variety of emergency and urgent care settings—particularly in rural and underserved communities. This dynamic program aligns with national standards and AAENP core competencies to ensure graduates are equipped to recognize and manage emergent and life-threatening conditions, perform advanced diagnostics and interventions, and respond with confidence in high-pressure environments. ENPs are increasingly in demand across a wide range of settings, including triage, fast track, academic and community hospitals, rural emergency rooms, urgent care centers (including telehealth), and critical access facilities—sometimes serving as the sole provider. The role is also expanding into nontraditional, prehospital environments such as EMS and mobile integrated healthcare. Emergency care is defined not by location but by the need for immediate evaluation and treatment of unexpected illness or injury, and this program empowers nurse practitioners to lead that care.

Career opportunities include emergency departments ranging from critical access hospitals to large academic medical centers, free-standing emergency care facilities, urgent care centers, mobile integrated healthcare units, pre-hospital and EMS settings, and even frontier and wilderness environments.
