Emergency nurses practice in an environment that has been called permanent whitewater, where constant change, challenge, and crisis are the reality. Amazing stories occur each day and some of these stories may never be acknowledged or written. The ENA achievement awards provide an opportunity to recognize not only exemplary professionals, but also exemplary emergency departments, talented and committed state leaders, and leaders active in the determination of health care policy. Eligibility, requirements, and criteria may vary depending on the award category.
