About Us

The Academy of Emergency Nursing (AEN) was established by the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) Board of Directors on September 28, 2004. To date, 54 outstanding emergency nurses have been inducted into the Academy of Emergency Nursing and proudly list FAEN as one of their professional credentials.

The purpose of the Academy of Emergency Nursing is to honor emergency nurses (1) who have made enduring and substantial contributions that facilitated the advancement of the emergency nursing profession in education, practice, research, leadership, and/or public policy; (2) who advanced the profession of emergency nursing, including the health care system in which emergency nursing is delivered; and (3) who provide visionary leadership for the Emergency Nurses Association and the Academy of Emergency Nursing.

The Academy of Emergency Nursing is constituted to honor nurses who have made specific, enduring, substantial, and sustained contributions to the field of emergency nursing; who advance the profession of emergency nursing, including the health care system in which emergency nursing is delivered; and who provide visionary leadership to the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA). The body of work left by Academy members goes well beyond being an outstanding nurse and a devoted ENA member.
