The Mid Valley and Coastal (MVC) Chapter has been
growing since its start in 2002. We have over 135 members now and
meet on a quarterly basis at rotating locations.
Our member area is the same as the Area Trauma Board
2 and
includes hospitals in the following cities: Albany, Stayton, Lebanon,
McMinnville, Newberg, Dallas, Silverton, Corvallis, Salem, Newport
and Lincoln City. National ENA members in the ATAB 2 area are automatically
members of the MVC Chapter but any Oregon ENA member may request
to join our chapter.
The meetings start at 6 pm with an educational presentation
for one hour (worth one continuing education hour), followed by
a brief business meeting. We have had great presentations in the
past such as "Rhabdomyolysis: the Crush Injury Syndrome",
"Medical forensics", "Methamphetamine Abuse",
and "Go Granny Go. Outcomes in geriatric trauma". In order
to reinvest in our members, our meetings include 2 free drawings:
a paid 1-year ENA membership (ENA members or non-members) and an
education credit of $250 (ENA members only).
Everyone is welcome, including non-ENA members! Enjoy
the
speaker, light refreshments, have a chance at our drawings and
network with your emergency nurse peers.
If you are a current ENA member, assigned to the MVCC
and have given the ENA your email address you will receive an email
prior to each meeting and other updates as indicated. If you currently
do not receive these emails please email Diane Branson to be added
to the email list.
