LAS VEGAS (Sept. 6, 2024) – From humanitarians and published authors to those who wanted to be emergency nurses since they were kids and those who fell into it, the 2024 class of 20 Under 40 is full of impressive up-and-coming nurses.

ENA announced its fourth class of 20 Under 40 honorees as part of its annual General Assembly, prior to Emergency Nursing 2024 in Las Vegas this week.
