When lives are on the line, every triage decision matters. Yet today, triage accuracy across the U.S. averages just 59%—and that gap in education and consistency can mean the difference between timely care and delayed outcomes.
ENA’s Emergency Nursing Triage Education Program is here to change that.
ENTEP is designed to elevate triage accuracy and confidence in emergency nurses. Through independent study, live instruction, and hands-on skills assessment, ENTEP equips nurses with the expertise needed to make accurate, timely triage decisions.
