THANK YOU!!! This video is EXACTLY what I needed to help me to understand which NP specialty to choose to end up being able to work in the ER! I was considering Acute Care- but now I will go with the FNP with a fellowship, which is also available at my (hopeful) NP school OSU. I am doing pre-req. classes currently for their Graduate entry program. Thank you for clarifying that finishing the fellowship program would also make me qualified to become double certified.

Becauss of you i feel motivated and inspired to become an NP.

[@Thenurse_jay]

My favorite NP channel. Thanks for more of your insight

I'm about to graduate as an RN in 6 weeks and I will be working at a Level I trauma ED. I want to get good experience before I decide to get my ENP. This was a very helpful video and well-explained. Thanks for educating us and for being exemplary in your line of profession.

[@SimpleFitNurse]

Incredible insight. Thank you for your videos

[@jeffersonrfellows]

Thanks Ahmed, these vids are real informative

[@tbsdrummer87]

I took a shot every time you said, “intubations and chest tubes” and now I’m drunk

[@tracybranch2955]

Hey Ahmed. I've been a RN for 30 years (25 in ER) and was planning to go back for my NP. I want to do both..... Part time in ER, and get involved in rural care for those in needs. We shall see.. Thank you for sharing this. I wish you God's Speed in your career!!🙏

[@ahmedmirza3458]

That's a great plan Tracy. Wishing you the best!

[@tracybranch2955]

@@ahmedmirza3458 I'm hoping that although the field is "a bit oversaturated" with NP's, a solid, experienced NP can find work and then "work on" getting the position desired. Lol. Then there are other days when I think, "na, I don't want to go back to school, I want to ride my horse, play music, and be a partner in crime to my grandchildren". Thank you so very much🙏

@@tracybranch2955 we could be twins! I just got accepted in a program and am torn between which track. I have time to decide. My program allows a switch after the initial didactic…..Go for it! The experience we have to offer is so needed.

[@tracybranch2955]

@@TheBlacksurfergirl hey sister, Thanks for the reply and the encouragement!!!! I believe your right about the profession being in need of candidates that are experienced and seasoned. I think I will go ahead and set my sights on it. May God bless you and your path!! Much love 🙏♥️🙏

Thank you, very helpful

[@annaisnotdum3337]

Thank you I want to cry for this I know it’s an old vid so too won’t see but I am 20 and I have a chronic illness but I want to be an ER NP after doing MA certifications for a while but this helps me a lot feel better

[@ec2749]

Very helpful info.

[@dpopkin1]

This is why I’m going to PA school

[@unorthodox7945]

Hey Ahmed, thanks for the video and knowledge. Was FNP school difficult? I will be starting soon thank you so much!

[@TS-ow3ch]

UT Cizek has an ENP program.

[@issaorbitalbeats4241]

Cant find any in michigan, do you recommend a website where it can help my locate one ?

[@yelidafishkind1976]

Hi, I will be working in the ED as a NP. What study materials do you suggest ? Thank you!

[@Midazolamb]

If you’re the solo provider in a critical access hospital, are you making 200 bucks an hour since you’re doing the identical job of a physician?

[@user-xy5ne9in7n]

Can ENP do everthing that FNP do? If not, then what are rhe differences between them? I have known that ENP offers both urgent and primary care, and FNP offers primary care.

[@ahmedmirza3458]

Most if not all ENPs are dual certified FNP & ENP. Usually have to be a FNP to then become certified as an ENP

[@jefferywelch0]

Ahmed, please continue to make videos if you're able. 🙏🙏

[@ahmedmirza3458]

Hopefully soon!

[@mr.ssj3847]

so acnp gets the training in those emergency procedures like chest tubes, etc. does enp cert during school give you that same training??

[@ahmedmirza3458]

They get the training to preform them outside of the ED. Like ICU. Right now only FNPs can become ENP certified.

[@mariaescoto3508]

How many years of ER RN experience would you suggest having before going for FNP/ENP?

[@ahmedmirza3458]

2 years minimum. The more the better or you can do a ER fellowship after NP school.

[@nursewilberflores6801]

is there a list of fnp/er programs???

[@ahmedmirza3458]

There are a few. A quick Google search should tell you. I think Vanderbilt is one.

[@jamie5mauser]

Where can I go for ENP besides Vanderbilt? I prefer not to go there

[@lostmywaffle8471]

I think the only FNP/ENP program in the West coast is University of San Diego (not the UCSD or SDSU). If/when you have time please let me know if what I’ve looked up is true b/c I would love to attend that program..

[@stacycruz4735]

look into chamberlain university
