About Emergency Nurses Week
Since 1989, the Emergency Nurses Association has recognized the second Wednesday in October as Emergency Nurses Day. In 2001, ENA expanded the celebration to a full week to highlight emergency nurses more.
Each year, the association celebrates and honors the incredible work of emergency nurses worldwide by highlighting members, offering giveaways, providing discounts, engaging with state- and federal-level legislators for recognition and much more.
