What is an Emergency Nurse Practitioner?

Not to be confused with an Emergency and Accident Nurse, an Emergency Nurse Practitioner (ENP) is a senior member of a hospital's medical staff who is certified to consult, diagnose, treat and discharge patients who enter the Emergency Room, without sending them to the Emergency Doctor.

This level of competence can cut down wait times significantly, and assist your facility to keep patients calm, and moving through the system much quicker than with conventional methods.

ENP’s will have a master's degree in nursing and would often have received additional education to qualify for this role. As part of this training, which can also be done “On the Job” includes the following treatments:

Apply Plaster of Paris to Fractures, ensuring the injury is set correctly
Treat Sprains and Strains
Treat Wounds
Treat Burns
Treat Scalds

While we have listed these treatments, it is important to mention that the agreement and directive will be confirmed with the Clinical leader of the intensive care or emergency Unit where the ENP is placed on duty.

Emergency Nurse Practitioner Certification

ENPs are senior Nursing Staff. Nurses who have obtained enough experience, or training to be eligible for the ENP role within facilities would fall within the Band 7 qualifications, which would be a master's degree of Nursing, or equivalent.

They would have the experience in the relevant wards, and have exhibited the ability to:

Conduct thorough assessments and make accurate diagnosis
Administer medications or treatments
Manage well under pressure
Effectively, and accurately solve problems
They would need to have Life Support Training
Have an exceptional bedside manner

Can a Band 6 Nurse become Band 7 Practitioner?

Yes, absolutely, with dedication, ongoing training and experience, nurses can certainly move up the band system. It is however important to note, that the responsibilities of a Band 7 nurse are significantly more in-depth than a Band 6 nurse, so opting to do this needs to be carefully considered.

One of the core benefits of deciding to recruit an ENP for your facility is the high level of experience and training which they have received – so contact us to find you the perfect Band 7 placement.

It is important to mention that at Mayfair, our business model is structured around uplifting staff, and providing affordable training solutions to allow them to level up when they are ready. So, when you choose a Mayfair staff member, you can rely on the fact that their career growth and wellbeing is important to us.
