Mid Valley & Coastal Chapter (MVC)
of Oregon ENA
The Mid Valley and Coastal (MVC) Chapter has been growing
since its start in 2002. We have over 80 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,
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 Legal Issues", "Methamphetamine
Abuse", and "Capnography".
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.
On Aug 15th, we had a planned event to see Gunther von Hagen's
Body Worlds 3 at OMSI. There were 28 in our group and our
chapter paid admission for MVC members.
Our next meeting will be on Thursday, Nov 8th at West Valley
Hospital, Dallas. The 6 pm educational presentation will be
on Burn Care.
Our 2008 board members are:
We hope to see you at a future MVC Chapter meeting! If you
have any questions or need any information, please let us
know.
