Background: This study describes the training profiles of emergency care nurses worldwide, which can serve as a guide for training these professionals.
Method: A narrative review was developed.
Results: Five training profiles were identified, according to the requirements of undergraduate, postgraduate, complementary training, and previous work experience within the training itineraries of emergency nursing worldwide.
Conclusion: The most appropriate level of training for emergency nursing is the 1-year postgraduate level (academic or specialty). The description of these profiles can guide the regulatory organizations and professionals regarding the most appropriate training requirements for effective, safe, and adjusted care assistance.
