From the NYS ENA at Oishei’s Hospital:

The New York State Emergency Nurses Association is hosting a meeting at Oshi Children’s Hospital on 3/26 at 500pm in the Alford Auditorium. The meeting will include a short intro with information on ENA followed by a discussion panel about emergency preparedness, weather events (including the 2022 Christmastime storm) and planning for the eclipse (from the dangers of looking at the sun and safety glasses to managing the influx of people and traffic).

This meeting is for emergency nurses, staff, EMS, and all healthcare professionals. Please forward to your Emergency Department nurses and healthcare teams.

We will be doing an on-site drawing for T-shirts, bags, pens.  There will also be a grand prize drawing (later) for a NYS ENA as well as a National ENA conference scholarship.

This meeting will be in person and there is also a zoom link. Please register utilizing the registration link here – https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/8bgheb3

Hope to see you there!
