Welcome IAFN members to SD ENA!

​We are excited to welcome our new members from the International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN) to the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA)!

As part of this transition, ENA has created a dedicated webpage specifically for forensic nurses. This resource page includes important information about your ENA membership, what this transition means for you, and answers to common questions.
On the webpage, you will find:
  • Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
  • Education and Resource information
  • Contact emails for additional support and questions
We also encourage all new ENA members to attend the upcoming Virtual Orientation on May 21. This orientation is a great opportunity to learn more about ENA membership benefits, available resources, and ways to get involved.

We are excited to have forensic nurses as part of the ENA community and look forward to supporting you in your professional journey!
