Abstract:
The history of emergency nurse practitioners (ENPs) is one of evolution and adaptation in response to changing healthcare demands. The role of nurse practitioners (NPs) in emergency departments (EDs) has undergone significant evolution since the 1970s. This historical narrative traces the historical development of ENPs, focusing on their roles, training, and impact on patient care. It explores early experimental programs, academic training, and the increasing integration of NPs into emergency care settings.
