Abstrakt:	Abstract: The nurse practitioner (NP) role within emergency care has grown in recent years and now there are an estimated 25,000 NPs employed in diverse emergency care settings. Despite this significant growth and expansion of the NP within emergency care areas, challenges exist. In addition to the pervasive confusion regarding the NP role in emergency care, data and statistics detailing characteristics and outcomes of NP practice in emergency care are either lacking or misrepresented. This article explores barriers and provides current and accurate information describing the current educational preparation, credentialing, scope of practice, and outcomes among NPs in US emergency departments. The totality of available evidence reviewed supports safe, timely, efficient, and patient-centered care provided by NPs in emergency care.
