Emergency Nurse Practitioner certificate

[rach1551]

Has anyone completed Emergency Nurse Practitioner certificate? I am looking at doing it, however the website links aren't very helpful. It is a certification thru portfolio, if you have completed it can you guide to me to what they are looking for? I have a lengthy CV, all the requirements but the portion I am stuck on is clinical examples. Do they want clinical examples of all this garbage? Just saying if you work in the ED you do this on every patient anyways.... I will take any/all feedback that might be helpful. Thank you
