On March 23, 2023, Ashly Doering sat for the Emergency Nurse Practitioner (ENP) Exam and she passed! This is no easy task. In order to sit for the ENP boards the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners requires the following:
– Minimum of 2,000 direct , emergency care clinical practice hours as a Family Nurse Practitioner in the past five (5) years.
– Evidence of 100 hours of continuing emergency care education and 58 hours of procedure hours.
– Minimum of 30 continuing emergency care education hours in emergency care procedural skills with those five years.
As anyone can see this is a major achievement! Ashley did this in 1.5 years and had close to 200 hours of continuing education and 58 hours of procedure hours. “I have studied for this board certification my entire adult life,” she exclaimed. “Showing my desire to provide exceptional ED care based on up-to-date skills and Evidence-Based Practice has been a career goal from the beginning.”
