HONORING OUR HISTORY – 2025
LESLIE CHIN RN
Loma Prieta
Leslie was our LPENA “secretary in perpetuity,” and much beloved by all who knew her. Every year she made Christmas ornaments by the hundreds for people she worked with, family, friends, and of course our LPENA members. She never missed a birthday or anniversary with hand stamped cards and a personal note written inside her beautiful cards.
Hailey OKULA
Greater Los Angeles
Hailey Okula, RN, was a force both in the emergency department and online. The ED nurse and social media influencer amassed nearly 900,000 followers by helping new graduate nurses make the transition to the profession while sharing her struggles to become a mother. Okula’s life was cut tragically short when she passed away on March 29 at the age of 33 following complications from childbirth.
Okula was the creator of RN New Grads, an online educational resource for new graduate nurses.

STATE COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS
Jan 2024 – Member Jan DENNO, Sacramento Chapter, testified at CA State Assembly Public Safety Committee. Jan spoke on behalf of AB 977 which creates higher fines and penalties for people who assault emergency department staff.
All of the Committee voted in favor of passing the bill. The Appropriations Committee also voted in favor of this bill.
ENA was supported by Sutter Health Corp, ACEP and CHA.
Jen Denno and Merideth Holder testified more than once at State legislation hearings.
13 Mar 2024 – Leg Day in Sacramento organized by Stephanie JENSEN was a huge success. There were 50 attendees. Speakers were well received.
CA ENA participated in the CFED Conference in Indian Wells as a co-sponsor. Six speakers represented California ENA.
The August State Council was certainly a highlight for 2024. It was held on the Historic Ship – the Queen Mary. We had 44 members attend. Queen Mary has many historic memories including serving as a troop ship in WWII. It is also haunted. If the opportunity ever arises for you to visit this ship, do it.
Following the State Council Meeting, 20 members took an educational cruise.
The California State Legislature released legislation on violence in the healthcare workplace from the suspense file.
Planning has already begun for the November meeting in 2025. This will be the 50th anniversary of California as a State Council. The colors will be purple and gold. We were chartered on 10 October 1975.
The Education Committee sponsored 15 events in 2024.
Matt Powers is elected to the Board of the Academy of Emergency Nurses.
