Emergency Nurse Pediatric Course (ENPC)

Course Description

ENPC is a 16-hour course from the Emergency Nurses Association designed to provide core-level pediatric knowledge and psychomotor skills needed to care for pediatric patients in the emergency setting.

The course presents a systematic assessment model, integrates the associated anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology and identifies appropriate interventions. Triage categorization and prevention strategies are included in the course content. ENPC is taught using a variety of formats, including lectures, videotapes and skill stations that encourage participants to integrate their psychomotor abilities into a patient situation in a risk-free setting.

The course provides you an opportunity to strengthen and develop your pediatric emergency nurse skills while expanding your personal growth by collaborating with nurses from a variety of practice settings.
