“Emergency Nurses: A Tradition of Excellence” is the theme chosen by the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) to recognize emergency nurses across the country, who are dedicated to serving the critical needs of patients, performing a key role in terrorism response efforts, and advocating for appropriate emergency services in the nation's hospitals.

The week is highlighted by Emergency Nurses Day on Oct.13, a day set aside to pay special honor to emergency nurses and their heartfelt commitment to patients."
