Chapter Meetings

Are you a nursing student or emergency nurse with less than 5 years of experience interested in connecting with experienced emergency nurses in Northern California and learn more about how to establish your career with support from your local ENA Chapter members?

Consider joining the East Bay & Sacramento ENA Chapters Emerging Professional Facebook Group! The goal of this group is to foster a safe space for learning, advisement, mentorship, and professional development.

If you know people who might benefit from this group, please invite them! Note that this group is specifically for current or future NORTHERN CALIFORNIA emergency nurse professionals. If you know people who would benefit from this type of online support but do not live in our area, encourage them to search for the general ENA Emerging Professional Facebook Group.

Gifts were exchanged and we brought each other up to date on our lives. Our next chapter meeting has been moved to February 24 at the Siena restaurant in El Dorado Hills.

We had all 3 of our board members attend SCLO in San Diego in January. We had a legislative review day and read hundreds of California bills for 2020 legislative day preparation. Sacramento not only hosts legislative day, but is home to both State Government affairs chairs. Most of the first part of the year was spent helping prepare for that. We have scheduled an all day symposium in June (now rescheduled to November) and have been working on planning for that.
