2. Will ENP become a primary certification?

   ParaBandAider replied to FiremedicMike's topic in NP

   I believe there are primary care rotations as well as women's health, L&D, and others in addition to the ED clinical time. I have not started my program, but a coworker of mine is in a FNP/ENP program doing primary care clinical at a walk in/urge...
