Updates from ENA

In honor of Emergency Nurses Week last month, we’re sharing a few updates from the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA). The ENA is one of the Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) Innovation and Improvement Center's five collaborative partners.

• ENA President Ron Kraus, MSN, RN, EMT, CEN, ACNS-BC, TCRN, released a statement to announce the association’s support for the Biden Administration’s Vaccination Plan. Within the statement, Kraus mentions how the pandemic is contributing to overcrowding and burnout; the plan’s ability to move the United States in the right direction to reduce case numbers and lessens the public health crisis’ impact on emergency departments; that nurses have been voted the most trusted profession for nearly two decades; and that it’s time for everyone to hear the stories about what COVID is doing to patients and nurses around the world.
• ENA added new resources to its extensive library, including a Hemorrhage Control position statement, Disaster Emergency Essentials toolkit, and Caring for Children with Sickle Cell Disease infographic. Find these and more practice resources here. (Log in or register to access.)
• ENA is currently accepting education proposals for Emergency Nursing 2022, scheduled for Sept. 30-Oct. 3, 2022, in Denver. The submission deadline is Jan. 19, 2022. Find more details here.
