GET READY
Emergency Nursing 2016
Coming to Los Angeles
Kathleen E. Carlson, MSN, RN,
CEN, FAEN
Emergency Nursing 2016 is the premier educational and networking destination for emergency
nurses. Every year I look forward to ENA’s conference for the chance to enrich my knowledge,
refresh my skills and rejuvenate my spirit.
This year’s conference will provide you with the newest, most cutting-edge education for
emergency nurses, with countless networking opportunities.
ENA listened to your feedback from last year’s conference – more education in
fewer days. So we shortened Emergency Nursing 2016 by one day and added
more instructional sessions, interactive training and hands-on learning.
At Emergency Nursing 2016 you can:
• Earn up to 37.25 contact hours from more than 150 education sessions
• Expand your skills at the mass casualty event training session
• Delve into rich research topic ideas at the IENR research lounge
• Experience hands-on training in the ultrasound and cadaver labs
• Explore the future of emergency nursing at ENA’s AdvancED in the Exhibit Hall
We expanded the networking opportunities, too. Every attendee will have access to
an opening party at Universal Studios Hollywood, an exciting ENA Foundation event
at the spectacular Conga Room and more opportunities to mingle in the Exhibit Hall.
I hope you will join me in taking advantage of this opportunity to recharge your mind
and revitalize your soul at Emergency Nursing 2016.
See you in Los Angeles.

SPEAKERS
Featured Speakers Bring
INSPIRATION and MOTIVATION to
Emergency Nursing 2016
If you want to laugh, be inspired or reclaim your love for emergency nursing,
look no further than the speakers at the Emergency Nursing 2016 conference.
Feed Your Soul
The Passion Leak
KATHLEEN BARTHOLOMEW,
MN, RN, an author, speaker and
educator, will ask whether you
remember the spark that lit your
passion for emergency nursing.
What are the personal stories
– your stories, your patients’
stories and loved ones’ stories
– that feed and motivate your soul? Her presentation
during the opening session Thursday, Sept. 15, at 10 a.m.,
“A Passion for the Art of Nursing,” aims to help emergency
nurses see “the greatest tool they have is actually
themselves.”
Sometimes the passion
emergency nurses bring to their
jobs fades. Their day-to-day
enthusiasm can decrease so
slowly their dream job might one
day feel like just a job. Anita Dorr,
RN, FAEN, Memorial Lecture &
Luncheon speaker ANNE
MANTON, PHD, RN, APRN, PMHNPBC, FAEN, FAAN, will
share how to reverse the passion leak in her presentation
Thursday, Sept. 15, at 12:30 p.m. Manton is a specialist in
psychiatric and mental healthcare, an ENA past president
with decades of ENA involvement and also serves as the
editor in chief of the Journal of Emergency Nursing.
Disaster Preparedness Training
JOSEPH KOTORA, DO, was a
Sept. 11 first responder. He also
responded to Hurricane Irene in
2011 and Hurricane Sandy in
2012. Kotora is the public health
emergency officer for Naval
Hospital Camp Lejeune & Marine
Corps Base Camp Lejeune, among many positions. He also
served as a Marine battalion surgeon in Iraq for two years.
Kotora will lead the mass casualty simulation event during
the opening session Thursday, Sept. 15. Emergency
Nursing 2016 attendees will have the opportunity to learn
from his expertise in disaster preparedness as he presents
two interrelated hazard and risk assessment tools: the
Haddon Matrix and 360-degree threat assessment.
“If people are prepared to handle the first week of a
disaster, then they’re probably better off than 90 percent of
the people who don’t put a lot of emphasis on disaster
preparedness,” said Kotora.
The Health Beat Goes On
Sometimes, even when the
passion is still going strong, you
need a bit of relief from the
stresses of emergency nursing
and the risks of burnout. That’s
where ZUBIN DAMANIA, MD,
founder of Turntable Health,
comes in. He and his alter ego,
internet sensation ZDoggMD, invite attendees to have fun
and become inspired during his closing session, “The Beat
of Health 3.0,” on Saturday, Sept. 17, at 4:30 p.m.
ZDoggMD addresses issues in the healthcare system with
pop and hip-hop music parodies. Songs like “Readmission,”
which parodies R. Kelly’s “Ignition (Remix),” are both funny
and familiar to anyone in the healthcare world. ZDoggMD
will also perform a new song, “Dear Nurses” – a riff on Tupac
Shakur’s “Dear Mama” – which celebrates nurses and their
crucial work and carries emotional heft.

EDUCATION
HANDS-ON SESSIONS:
Ultrasound and Cadaver Labs
F
or those who want practical hands-on training from top faculty and the chance to earn
continuing education recognition points, don’t miss this year’s ultrasound and procedural
cadaver labs.
At the ultrasound labs, which are offered during four one-hour sessions
Friday, Sept. 16, lab instructors will help participants develop expertise in
inserting IVs regardless of the situation, thanks to hands-on skill training in ultrasound-guided IV
insertion. After the session, participants can go back to their jobs more proficient in IV insertion,
allowing them to decrease the number of sticks when minutes count. Sessions will be held from
8-9 a.m., 9:15-10:15 a.m., 10:30-11:30 a.m. and 1-2 p.m. Those who participate in an ultrasound
lab can earn one CERP. The fee for participation is $50.
The hands-on procedural cadaver labs, also offered Friday, Sept.
16, in two three-hour sessions, will review relevant anatomy
associated with emergency care procedures. Attendees will learn from top faculty leading the
sessions. It’s the perfect opportunity to enhance your understanding of various procedures and
their associated benefits and risks. Choose between sessions held from 8:30-11:30 a.m. or 1-4
p.m. Those who participate in a procedural cadaver lab can earn three CERPs. The fee for
participation is $100.
Both the ultrasound and procedural cadaver labs have limited capacity, and registration is required for these popular sessions.
