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.
