According to the AANPCB, you can become an ENP in the following ways:
Eligibility Criteria:
Option 1: Clinical Experience and Continuing Education:
- A minimum of 2,000 direct, emergency care clinical practice hours as a certified FNP in the past 5 years.
- Evidence of 100 hours of continuing emergency care education (CEs) within the past 5 years.

“ENP specialization builds upon NP entry-into-practice knowledge and skills and requires a minimum of a master’s level preparation or specialized preparation at the post-master’s or doctoral level. Educational preparation provides ENPs with specialized knowledge and clinical competencies which enable them to practice in various health care settings, establish differential diagnoses, manage and initiate treatment plans, order and interpret diagnostic tests, prescribe medications, perform procedures and determine final patient dispositions. ENP educational preparation includes the evaluation and management of patients across the lifespan within the scope of population-area NP education, national certification and care continuum. ENP program accreditation requirements and competency-based standards ensure that they are educationally prepared to provide quality, comprehensive care through entrustable professional activities (EPAs).” – AAENP
