Education
The CENA (WA) Executive is committed to promoting the educational pursuits of WA emergency nurses.  Near and far, we can deliver education sessions for metro areas as well as rural centres.  With your assistance, we can develop specific study days for your nurses.  If you feel your hospital would benefit from a study day focusing on Emergency Nursing, we currently have a wide variety of topics for you to choose and we can develop more on request!  We can provide expert lecturers for a minimal cost.  If you would like us to conduct a study day or weekend for you or if you have any ideas for a program, please contact us at wa@cena.org.au
