President Elect Candidate
Bradley Rund MSN, FNP-BC, NR-P, CEN, CFRN, CCP-C, CMLI
Professional Biography
I started in emergency care as a paramedic and found my way to emergency nursing, and I have stayed close to the front line ever since. Today I care for patients as a nurse practitioner, respond to calls with the Shelbyville Fire Department, and serve Shelby County as its coroner. Each of those roles keeps me connected to the reality our emergency nurses face every shift: the volume, the pressure, and the patients who arrive at their worst moments.
ENA has been a big part of my professional life. For the past five years I have planned the Indiana State Council's annual conference, which now brings together more than 600 attendees and 75 speakers, and I currently serve as Co‑Chair of the CEC26 Planning Committee. At the national level, I served on the ENA annual conference planning committee and later chaired it. I have also represented Indiana three times as a General Assembly delegate.
That experience matters for this role. Planning a conference of this size means managing budgets, building teams, meeting deadlines, and listening closely to what members actually need. As president, I want to bring that same focus to growing our membership, keeping strong education accessible across Indiana, and making sure every emergency nurse in this state feels that ENA is working for them.
ENA Involvement
ENA has been Bradley's professional home for years. For the past five years he has planned the Indiana State Council's annual conference, growing it into an event that draws more than 400 attendees and 75 speakers from across the country and around the world. He currently serves as Co‑Chair of the CEC26 Planning Committee. Nationally, he served on the ENA annual conference planning committee and later chaired it, and he has represented Indiana as a General Assembly delegate in 2023, 2024, and 2026.
Why are you interested in serving?
I'm running for president because ENA has given me so much, and I want to give that back to the nurses of Indiana. Some of the best people I know are emergency nurses I met through this organization, and I've watched what happens when members feel supported, connected, and heard.
After years of planning our state conference, I've seen how hungry our members are for good education and for a chance to come together. I've also heard their frustrations about staffing, workplace violence, burnout, and feeling like no one is listening. I want to help turn those conversations into action.
My goal is simple. I want every emergency nurse in Indiana, whether they work in a large trauma center or a small rural ED, to see ENA as their professional home and a strong voice on their behalf. I'm ready to put in the work to make that happen.

Professional Biography
With over 25 years of nursing experience, I am a dedicated emergency nurse, educator, forensic nurse, and healthcare leader with a passion for advancing nursing practice and developing the next generation of nurses. My career has been shaped by a commitment to patient-centered care, lifelong learning, advocacy, and leadership.
Although I am not currently practicing in the emergency department, the emergency room remains an important part of who I am as a nurse, and I know my time in the ED is not yet finished. My emergency nursing experience continues to influence my leadership, clinical perspective, and dedication to caring for patients and supporting healthcare professionals in challenging environments.

My experience as an educator and leader allows me to mentor others, foster professional growth, and promote excellence in nursing practice.
After 25 years in nursing, I remain passionate about emergency nursing, education, leadership, advocacy, and making a meaningful difference in the lives of patients, nurses, and the communities we serve.
ENA Involvement
My commitment to emergency nursing and professional leadership has been especially evident through my involvement with the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA), which I have been an active member of since 2010. Over the years, I have had the privilege of attending ENA's national conference as both a delegate and attendee, while also serving in leadership roles at the state and local chapter levels. These experiences have provided meaningful opportunities to advocate for emergency nurses, build professional relationships, and contribute to the continued advancement of emergency nursing.
Why are you interested in serving?
I am interested in serving as State Secretary because of my passion for the Emergency Nurses Association and my commitment to supporting and advocating for emergency nurses. I want to help ensure that our voices, experiences, and needs are represented and heard at the state level. I would be honored to contribute my time, energy, and leadership to ENA and help strengthen our organization and the emergency nursing community.
