W elcome to a preview of the 2014
ENA Annual Conference. The
ENA Board of Directors looks forward
to greeting you at the Crossroads of
America during a very special
conference that falls
during Emergency
Nurses Week™.
This issue of ENA
Conference Connection is full of information
on speakers, educational sessions, special
events and networking opportunities that
await attendees during Annual Conference
in Indianapolis on Oct. 7 - 11.
Emergency nurses from all over the United States and the
globe will convene at the Indiana Convention Center to hear
the most current education, practice the newest techniques in
our skills labs and get their hands on the latest products in our
exhibit hall.
This week is all about celebrating emergency nurses and
the incredible power of their healing hands and their voices.
Tickets are still available for the ENA Foundation
event, ‘‘The Power of One,’’ where
internationally recognized speaker Jeff Solheim will introduce
attendees to six incredible emergency nursing heroes. Make
your voice heard — and support the foundation — by
receiving the new ‘‘No Silence on Violence’’ pin when you

We will set the course for our future at
General Assembly on Oct. 7 - 8 and recognize
accomplishments from the past year at the
Annual Awards Gala on Saturday night,
Oct. 11.
It wouldn’t be an ENA conference without
plenty of opportunities for networking for
both early birds and night owls. Take in one
of the new evening educational or poster
sessions, meet up with friends old and new at the Welcome to
Indy Party on Oct. 9, or make plans to start the day off right at
one of our early-morning wellness sessions Oct. 9 and 10.

OUR CONFERENCE, OUR WEEK
AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR......towards staff at work is dramatically on the increase, especially in our Hospitals. Verbal abuse, threats with weapons, cuts, punches, even serious injuries are becoming everyday occurrences. The impact on the confidence and morale of staff is damaging and costly and has a serious impact on the caring and commitment that lies at the heart of the staff/patient relationship. Installing an INSTANTalarm 5000
Staff Personal Alarm System will make a dramatic differenceINSTANTalarm does NOT• track you around the hospital• use radio-frequency• rely on unreliable wi-fi• have a computer controlling itINSTANTalarm, however, DOES• let you decide when you need help• pinpoint your location, to a room• work instantaneously• make you and your patients feel safer• reduce the frequency and impact of violent incidents
Which is why, over 20 years, INSTANTalarm 5000 has been probably the most widely-installed, staff duress alarm system in the world.

Education
Learn How to Plan CNE Events the Right WayW hether you’re a night owl or
an early riser, you’re invited
to stop by this year’s free night-shift
session ‘‘Professional Development
of CNE Products’’ on Friday,
Oct. 10, at the ENA Annual
Conference to learn more about the
American Nurse Credentialing
Center’s continuing nursing
education design criteria. ENA’s
ANCC lead nurse planner, Janet
Crawford, MSN, ACNS-BC, DNC,
will provide attendees with
valuable knowledge on how to
develop CNE educational products.
Crawford says this session will
help nurse planners gain a better
understanding of CNE criteria. Attendees will become clear
about the required resources for planning high-quality CNE
products as they evaluate processes for assessing gap
analysis, content integrity and evaluation of program
outcomes.
‘‘This is a wonderful and a problem-solving, targeted
presentation that will help nurse planners, peer reviewers
and ENA staff who are responsible and connected to a CNE
product,’’ Crawford said. ‘‘There are approximately 37 key
points for an educational program to meet criteria for CNE.
Most of the criteria are straightforward, and my presentation
will focus on the most challenging criteria.’’
Crawford also encourages
TNCC and ENPC course
directors to attend to gain a
better understanding of
post-program requirements for
educational activities with
contact hours.
‘‘If they attend, they will
be really clear on what they
need to submit following the
implementation of their
program,’’ Crawford said. She
plans to discuss the five
documents needed to provide
evidence of compliance with
ANCC 2013 accreditation
requirements, including
promotional materials used for an educational event and a
summative evaluation that has an emphasis on nursing
professional development.
‘‘I think this session will be helpful to the attendees so that
they can see how their CNE application can go through
without it being sent back for repeated revisions,’’ Crawford
said. ‘‘I anticipate that at the end of my 75-minute
presentation, attendees will know how to design a gap
analysis. They will be clear on what a commercial interest
entity is, and they will have better insight on how to resolve
conflicts of interest. These are the big problem areas.’’

Complimentary massages, relay
races and fun ways to test your
emergency nursing know-how are just
a few of the activities and events
planned for the exhibit hall at this
year’s ENA Annual Conference. There
also will be plenty to learn and new
products to test-drive, with about 200
companies who will be showcasing
their products, services and
recruitment opportunities.
‘‘It’s always fun for us to see that
interaction,’’ said Patti Galuski, ENA’s
corporate relations manager, adding
that 99 percent of attendees check out
the conference exhibit hall each year.
Among the perennial favorites is
the Relaxation Station, sponsored by
Hill-Rom, an ENA strategic supporter,
at Booth 213. Attendees can relax in a
massage chair and indulge in free
neck, back and shoulder massages
from professional therapists.
‘‘We want you to take a break from
your everyday chaos and take a
minute for yourself,’’ Galuski said.
‘‘We also want you to take time to
refresh and re-energize and feel
excited about the new opportunities.’’
Once attendees have relaxed and
recharged, they’ll have plenty of
energy to get active and even
competitive. The CPR Throwdown at
Booth 455, sponsored by the
American Heart Association, an ENA
Annual Conference sponsor, allows
participants to practice their
resuscitation skills in scenarios
applicable to their clinical
environment. And attendees can bring
a team of four to Booth 256 to
complete in the Stryker 500 Relay
Challenge, a relay-style course
designed to showcase nurses’
safe-patient transporting skills.
There are plenty of activities for
learning in the exhibit hall, too.
Exhibitors such as Physio-Control
(Booth 225), an ENA Annual
Conference supporter, and Teleflex
(Booth 425), an ENA Annual
Conference sponsor, are hosting
30-minute educational sessions where
attendees can get 0.5 CERPs for
attending.

GENERAL SESSION
Why Hospitals MUST FlyJohn Nance, JD Friday, Oct. 10, 8 - 9:15 a.m.Aviation safety underwent a revolution in recent years,
and Nance sees the same happening for healthcare if
we can build a coherent, interactive team together. Nance has a bird’s-eye
view on the issue: He’s a career Air Force and commercial pilot and an
internationally recognized air safety analyst/advocate for ‘‘ABC World
News’’ and ‘‘Good Morning America.’’ In addition to the regular national
TV appearances he has made on shows such as ‘‘Oprah,’’ ‘‘The Today
Show’’ and ‘‘Larry King Live,’’ he is an author of 19 books, including 13
fiction bestsellers, and a licensed attorney.
Nance will discuss methods and practices that have helped other
former high-risk industries, such as the airline industry, to become highly
reliable. You’ll come away aware of flaws in our healthcare system that
are working against readily available improvements that can increase our
performance, efficiency, safety and bottom line.
CLOSING SESSION
The New Normal: Dealing Effectively With ChangeJohn Spence Saturday, Oct. 11, 4:15- 5:45 p.m.
While emergency nurses still have the No. 1 task of giving their patients
the highest quality care, new regulations and policies are rapidly changing
how healthcare looks today. How do you embrace the change? Spence
— a worldwide presenter and coach for more than 300 organizations,
including Microsoft, IBM, GE, Apple, AT&T and Verizon — will help you
move proactively toward the ‘‘new normal’’ by understanding the
emotions of struggling with change and learning how to shape an
organization that successfully deals with it.
Spence became CEO of an international Rockefeller foundation at age
26 and has been named one of the Top 100 Business Thought Leaders in
America and one of Trust Across America’s global thought leaders in
‘‘Trustworthy Business Behavior.’’ He has authored four books, including
the award-winning Awesomely Simple.
WORDS TO LIVE AND WORK BY
THIS ONE’S FOR THE HEROES
Dinner, drinks, networking and fun have always been the
order of the evening for the ENA Foundation Event, but
this year’s celebration has an added layer: excitement and
motivation with internationally celebrated speaker Jeff Solheim,
MSN, RN-BC, CEN, CFRN, FAEN.
‘‘We wanted to utilize our event to lift up heroes, to lift up
the emergency nurses within their hospitals and their
communities,’’ said Terrence
Sykes, ENA’s chief development
officer. ‘‘We thought we could
do that in way that is fun,
engaging, and insightful.’’
Solheim, who serves on the
ENA Board of Directors, will
take the podium at the JW
Marriott Grand Ballroom for
‘‘The Power of One: Engaging
Generations of Nurses to Give
Back and Do Incredible
Things.’’ He will spotlight six
heroes of emergency nursing
and their remarkable
achievements. It’s a talk that
will serve to celebrate and
inspire, not only by spotlighting
a few emergency nurses but by
reminding everyone listening that they, too, do remarkable
things every day for their patients and communities.
‘‘We’re going to celebrate what the emergency nurse means
to many people: hope, courage, knowledge, healing,
compassion,’’ Sykes said. ‘‘We want to celebrate who our
members are and why they do what they do.’’
Sykes said the event also will challenge attendees with the
question: ‘‘How much more of an impact can we make?’’
The $50 ticket price is tax-deductible and includes dinner, a
dessert bar and beverages after the program. Plus, 100 percent
of the proceeds will be used for the Emergency Nursing 2015
Conference Scholarship Fund. The ENA Foundation also
provides other support to emergency nurses, including
educational scholarships and research grants.
‘‘We’re going to celebrate, feel good, energize . . . walking out
feeling extremely proud of the work that we do,’’ Sykes said.
‘‘And celebrate the profession in a way we haven’t before.’’

Emergency nurses constantly focus on the health and
wellness of their patients. The ENA Annual Conference
is one place they focus on their own wellness, too.
‘‘We need to make sure that if we’re taking care of our
patients, we’re taking care of ourselves as well,’’ said
Briana Quinn, MPH, BSN, RN, senior associate for the
ENA Institute of Quality, Safety and Injury Prevention.
ENA’s wellness initiatives are based on the World
Health Organization’s definition of wellness. In promoting
self-care among members, ENA recognizes that wellness
is about more than physical health. It also encompasses
family, finances, community wellness and several other
facets of people’s lives.
With that in mind, financial wellness is the focus of
this year’s ENA Wellness Booth, located adjacent to the
ENA Education Booth in the exhibit hall’s ENA Pavilion.
Among the educational resources will be a Wheel of
Financial Wellness, which attendees can spin to learn
about the impact and cost of different factors affecting
emergency nurses. For instance, compassion fatigue’s cost
might be nurses leaving the profession, and physical
fatigue might result in dangerous, drowsy driving or
medication errors. When the wheel lands on a topic, ENA
staff will discuss it with attendees, who will be
encouraged to ask questions and voice their thoughts.
The ENA Wellness Booth also will include the popular
‘‘Myth and Fact’’ poster about the Affordable Care Act,
computers and an iPad to guide members through online
ENA resources, and previews of the Community Injury
Prevention Toolkit and Electronic Medical Record
Handbook, both of which will be released soon, Quinn
said. Plus, participants at the booth can get their Wellness
Knowledge Champion ribbons.
‘‘It’s a good interactive experience,’’ Quinn said.
