Maine ENA Home
MENA is the Maine state council of the Emergency Nurses Association. We are a not-for-profit organization and our main purpose is education.
Our vision is to define the future of emergency nursing and emergency care through advocacy, expertise, innovation, and leadership.
National ENA Organization
ENA is the specialty nursing association serving the emergency nursing profession through research, publications, professional development, and injury prevention. Since 1970, when Judith Kelleher and Anita Dorr founded the Association, ENA has grown larger, stronger and more influential each year.
The National ENA website has a great deal of information related to its mission, vision, values and ideas for today and tomorrow.
President's Message - Winter, 2008
This month is the beginning of my two year journey as the Maine ENA President. Even though I have been preparing for this as well as mentoring with our immediate past president, Barry Worthing, for the last 2 years, I have a fair amount of anxiety regarding my responsibilities.
However, it has been an exciting start. We have a new web master and a brand new look to our website. Please take the time to check out enamaine.org. We will have more information posted regularly so that it will be a place our members can check frequently for educational offerings and updates. Everyone will be able to look up current Maine ENA Board members and committee chairs with contact information readily available.
The calendar for all board meetings and education days, as well as the dates and locations for the New England Regional Symposium, (NERS), ENA Leadership Conference, and the General and Scientific Assembly, will be posted and kept updated, so that you may plan which conferences you would like to attend. Watch for the spring newsletter and the application to represent Maine ENA as a delegate to the General Assembly in Minneapolis in September. Anyone may apply to go as a delegate and selections are made based on points for specific criteria. Those who are selected will be notified in June, and given some financial assistance from Maine ENA, so that they may plan their trip.
All TNCC and ENPC courses and Instructor courses will also be posted. Committee chairs will provide updates on their particular committees such as, Government Affairs, EnCare, Nurse Practice and Nominations.
It looks to be an interesting year and we would like to invite everyone to check out the web site and newsletters and especially invite you to attend the board meetings and educational offerings throughout 2008.
Respectfully Submitted,
Carol Minis, RN, CEN
President Maine ENA
