Professional Development 1. What was the professional organization you choose and why?
The professional organization I chose to research was the Emergency Nursing Association (ENA). Since experiencing a traumatic and life changing event that turned my family upside down 4 years ago, I decided I wanted to find a career in nursing. More than just being a nurse, I wanted to participate in trauma care and emergency nursing. These are the kind of nurses that saved not only my premature and lifeless son at birth, but also the ones who saved my sister after a horrific car crash that should have left her dead. Through my research of the ENA, I found there to be many of paths for BSN level RN trauma nurses such as international and disaster relief nursing and also military nursing. Developing a sense of knowledge of what the requirements are for each level of nursing will ultimately help me in choosing which field of nursing I can help best and give back to the communities I will serve.
