To
all my friends, colleagues and members of the Emergency
Nurses Association in the state of Maryland; I wish you all the prosperity and
peace throughout the years to come.
As a
2010 State Council President of the Emergency Nurses
Association, I would like to invite each and every one
of you to actively participate in our pursuit of
excellence in nursing practice through education;
collaboration among other professional organizations
such as MNA, ACEP, EMS;
and advocating and promoting safe nursing practices.
As we
continue to
-
find solutions to
over-crowding in the emergency department
-
resolve issues to
decrease violence in the emergency room and
-
provide safe practice to
our patients
we must come
together and be heard as one… a united group of
professional nurses committed to giving excellent care
among all of our patient populations.
Maryland ENA is proud to announce that our annual ENA BY
THE BAY Conference will be held at MITAGS (Maritime
Institute of Technology and Graduate Studies) located at
692 Maritime Blvd., Linthicum Heights, Maryland, on May
7, 2010. We have excellent speakers from different areas
of practice in the emergency department. We’ve heard
your suggestions and comments in the past, and we hope
to meet your expectations as you attend this educational
conference.
We
are looking to have more providers’ classes for ENPC as
well as TNCC and even a plan to have instructors’
classes this year. Check our website for dates and
locations of classes including contact persons. I can’t
emphasize enough how invaluable the ENPC and TNCC
education and training is and the confidence one can
develop after attending these courses. They consistently
better equip you to care for the multigenerational
patients. We are also planning to offer CEN and CPEN
Review Classes.
Last
year’s national
ENA conference held in Baltimore was indeed a very successful one, as
evidenced by the number of attendees that came (which
far exceeded the previous year). For that, I would like
to say thank you for supporting ENA’s educational
conference.
I
challenge you to be involved, be heard, and be there,
because as a TEAM:
T
together
E
everyone
A
achieves
M
more……………
I am
very proud to share with all of you that once again
Maryland State Council is a recipient of the
State Achievement Award, which is only given to a state council that
demonstrates ability to develop best practices and
meet/exceed expectations as set by the ENA.
Respectfully
Josefina “Pen” Jarina
President 2010
