Notes
- Abstract:
- Nurse practitioners (ARNPs) serve as a valuable emergency health resource caring for approximately 5.76 million patients per year. Variation exists in basic educational experiences of ARNPs currently working in emergency room (ER) settings. Although some specific ER competencies have been added to supplement core competencies for all NPs programs, emergency nurse practitioner competencies were not addressed until 2008 when the Emergency Nurse Association (ENA) conducted a survey on actual ER competencies. This project is intended to develop a course module for nurse practitioners based on the extremity’s procedures addressed by the Emergency Nurse Association. At the time of this project, there were no official emergency nurse practitioner programs in South-Florida. This project was guided by Robert Gagne’s theory on conditions of learning (1965). This project consisted of 3 phases. The first phase was 350 hours of clinical rotation with an emergency physician evaluating and treating orthopedic emergencies. The second phase consisted in the development of the course module, and the third phase was the evaluation of the course module by a panel of experts. The expert panel concluded that the course is representative for representative of important advanced orthopedic knowledge and skills needed to assess, treat and evaluate emergency orthopedic care.
