Academy of Emergency Nursing
The Academy of Emergency Nursing was established by the Emergency Nurses Association on September 28, 2004 to honor emergency nurses who:
- Have made enduring, substantial contributions to emergency nursing
- Advance the profession of emergency nursing, including the healthcare system in which emergency nursing is delivered
- Provide visionary leadership to ENA and AEN
The body of work left by AEN Fellows goes well beyond being an outstanding nurse and a devoted ENA member. To date, more than 160 extraordinary emergency nurses have been inducted into the AEN and proudly list FAEN as one of their professional credentials.
