Abstract

Introduction The Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) convened a Nurse Practitioner (NP) Validation Work Team and conducted a Delphi study to verify and gain consensus on professional and clinical competencies for NPs in emergency care. This document describes entry-level competencies for NPs practicing in emergency care, regardless of setting.Methods A Delphi study was conducted from September 2007 to May 2008 with a national sample of credentialed NPs in emergency care. Using online questionnaires, three rounds were sent to the NPs to reach group consensus. Participants were asked to rate the importance and frequency of performance for each competency as well as list competencies they felt were not addressed in the questionnaires.Results The list of competencies was reduced from 111 to 83. In 2008, a Consensus Panel Meeting was convened to validate the Delphi study findings and gain consensus from a multidisciplinary group of stakeholders. Several organizations participated in the meeting (ie, AAEM, AANP, AACN, ACEP, ACNP, ANA, ANCC, BCEN, CCNE, NCSBN, and NONPF). The stakeholders approved a list of 60 entry-level competencies.Discussion There are implications for NPs in the following areas: 1) education, for use in academic settings as a foundation for curricula; 2) practice, emphasizing the unique aspects of practice for the NP in emergency care; and 3) research, including the development of advanced competencies for NPs in emergency care.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
