2026 Academy of Emergency Nursing Inductees
The Academy of Emergency Nursing was established by the Emergency Nurses Association in September 2004 to honor emergency nurses who:
- have made enduring, substantial contributions to emergency nursing
- advance the profession of emergency nursing, including the health care system in which emergency nursing is delivered
- provide visionary leadership to ENA and the Academy
Every year, a few extraordinary emergency nurses are inducted into AEN and proudly list FAEN as one of their professional credentials. This year’s inductees are presented here.
