Abstract
The history of emergency nurse practitioners (ENPs) is one of evolution and adaptation in response to changing healthcare demands.

This historical narrative traces the historical development of ENPs, focusing on their roles, training, and impact on patient care. It explores early experimental programs, academic training, and the increasing integration of NPs into emergency care settings.
