Your Voice Belongs at EmergNP 2026

The Call for Presentation Proposals closes March 1 — and we don’t want you to miss the opportunity. Some of the most impactful sessions come from ENPs who simply said:
“Maybe I should share this.”

If you:
• Developed a new workflow
• Navigated a complex case that changed your practice
• Built a quality improvement project
• Have strong clinical expertise in a high-impact topic

This is your platform. EmergNP isn’t just a conference. It’s our national space to learn from one another and move emergency NP practice forward.

Submissions close March 1. Submit your proposal today: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/019b636e0c3470d98ef2f79a23812b72

Advocacy isn’t a “nice extra” for ENPs — it’s protection for the role.

Policy impacts:
- scope of practice
- credentialing and recognition
- reimbursement
- workplace standards
- ENP legitimacy in emergency systems

And if ENPs aren’t part of that conversation, decisions get made without us.

AAENP advocates for emergency nurse practitioners nationally — pushing for stronger recognition, better standards, and policies that support safe, high-quality emergency care.

You don’t have to be a policy expert to make a difference.
You just have to be willing to stay informed and stand with a unified voice.

Emergency nurse practitioners belong in leadership. Period.

One of the most valuable parts of AAENP membership is access to local and national leadership opportunities — because ENPs deserve a strong voice in education and training, emergency care standards, policy and scope decisions, and professional recognition.

Whether you want to start small or jump in fully, there are meaningful ways to get involved through:
✅ committees
✅ SIGs
✅ state and regional leadership

If you’ve ever thought, “I want to be part of shaping what’s next for ENPs”… this is your sign.

Interested in stepping into leadership? Comment “LEAD” and we’ll point you in the right direction.

AAENP exists for one reason: to support emergency nurse practitioners in the work they do every day.

That means:
• ENP-specific education that reflects real emergency care
• national advocacy that protects the role and scope of practice
• leadership development and professional growth
• and a community that understands the realities of the ED

Whether you’re transitioning into emergency care or have years of experience, AAENP is your professional home.

We’re here to strengthen ENP practice today — and for the future of emergency care.

AENJ Article Spotlight (Free Access): Culturally Competent Care for Diverse Populations

Emergency care happens at the intersection of urgency, trust, and communication. When culture shapes health beliefs, decision-making, and barriers to care, the ED is often where those realities become visible fast.

This AENJ review explores transcultural nursing education and how it strengthens culturally competent care for diverse populations. It also looks at challenges in education and training, and practical strategies that can translate into ED practice.

If you teach, precept, lead teams, or simply want to sharpen your approach to patient-centered emergency care, this is a strong read.

Some days in emergency care feel like controlled chaos.

You’re managing high acuity, rapid decisions, emotional conversations, system pressures — all while trying to deliver safe, compassionate care.

And somehow, you still show up.

If no one’s told you lately:
what ENPs do in the ED matters more than most people will ever realize.

What’s been the hardest (or most rewarding) part of emergency practice lately?

Sometimes it really is that simple.

Heidi found EmergNP while searching for emergency NP conferences — and showed up ready to learn. What she found was relevant education, real-world topics, and content she could take straight back to a busy ER.

From toxicology and mental health to the realities of caring for diverse, high-acuity populations, EmergNP is designed for the work ENPs actually do.

Whether you’re new to emergency practice or years in, this is education worth brushing up on.

❤️ February is American Heart Month — and ENPs are on the front lines of it.

From rapid ECG interpretation and STEMI activation to dysrhythmia management, stroke recognition, and post-resuscitation care, emergency NPs are often the first clinical decision-makers in the moments that matter most.

So what does that mean in real life for ENPs?
• Early recognition and fast action can change outcomes in minutes
• Cardiac events, hypertensive emergencies, and stroke rule-outs are everyday ED realities
• Education and prevention still matter — even when we’re meeting patients at their sickest

Let’s use this month to refresh our knowledge, sharpen our skills, and keep advocating for heart health awareness in emergency settings.
