Walk away with confidence, competence, and connections that last.

ENPs, this is more than a workshop—it’s a community of peers who get it.

At EdgeNP, you’ll work side-by-side with other nurse practitioners who know the challenges of emergency and urgent care. Learn from instructors who’ve been in your shoes and walk away with more than just a certificate—you’ll gain connections, mentorship, and renewed confidence.

🗓️ November 8 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. | Calhoun Community College, Decatur, AL

When BP is high—but the patient seems stable—what’s the right move?

It’s a scenario ENPs encounter often: a patient arrives in the ED with markedly elevated blood pressure but no signs of end-organ damage. Do we treat? Discharge? Monitor?

A recent Advanced Emergency Nursing Journal article tackles this critical clinical dilemma head-on, reviewing new research from Chaudhry et al. (2024) and its real-world implications for emergency care.

From case-based discussion to study critique, this piece explores:
• The risk factors associated with major cardiovascular events post-discharge
• When antihypertensives may help—and when they may not
• How current ACEP guidelines compare with emerging evidence
• What clinical characteristics warrant deeper evaluation

📖 Read the article now: https://journals.lww.com/aenjournal/fulltext/2025/07000/to_treat_or_not_to_treat__managing_markedly.2.aspx

Stay current. Stay critical. Make evidence-informed decisions at the bedside.
