CALIFORNIA ENA

As we continue to face challenges of the evolving COVID-19 situation, Cal ENA wants emergency nurses to know that we support the guidelines put out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA).

Please know that your California ENA State Council is here to provide continued support and guidance during this challenging time in emergency medicine.
