ENP programs

What boards will you take though, as an ENP?
Remember, they dont even have CCNP or ACNP as a designation anymore. the ANCC is now the certifying agency (the AACN gave it up) and your designation will be APRN, BC.
you might just consider an acute care track if that's the exam you have to take. the clinicals should be individual to your wants/needs.

When I contacted Loyola they said you do ACNP and the subspecialty of ENP.

Yeah Loyola and Northwestern (I believe that's the other on in Chicago) have what they call ENP programs. However, in the state of IL in order to see kids ya gotta test for the FNP or PNP. As an ACNP in IL you can not see kids. Now they are allowing the ACNPs to see kids but I'm sure they are doing under the the MDs license (or some other way) as it is out of the scope of practice for an ACNP to see those under the age of 16.

Best way to go (in IL and IMHO), is to do two tracks: ACNP and PNP. This ensures you can legally see all ages.

There is no test for ENP at the moment.

So does the ENP just allow you to put on your CV that your FNP or ACNP program was focused in emergency medicine? How much extra time does it take to dual certify (e.g. ACNP and PNP)? Do most schools allow you to do this combo program even if it isn't officially listed on their website?

There's no shortcut as far as I know: you have to complete two programs. I did the adult health CNS and finished in May 2006 and now I'm back for a post-MSN certificate as a peds CNS.

The university of south carolina has an ACNP with a peds option. It's the only one I've heard of thus far

Rush University and Duke University also offer Pediatric Acute Care NP.

South Carolina is a combination adult/peds you take like 2 extra classes for peds.
