AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR......towards staff at work is dramatically on the increase, especially in our Hospitals. Verbal abuse, threats with weapons, cuts, punches, even serious injuries are becoming everyday occurrences. The impact on the confidence and morale of staff is damaging and costly and has a serious impact on the caring and commitment that lies at the heart of the staff/patient relationship. Installing an INSTANTalarm 5000
Staff Personal Alarm System will make a dramatic differenceINSTANTalarm does NOT• track you around the hospital• use radio-frequency• rely on unreliable wi-fi• have a computer controlling itINSTANTalarm, however, DOES• let you decide when you need help• pinpoint your location, to a room• work instantaneously• make you and your patients feel safer• reduce the frequency and impact of violent incidents
Which is why, over 20 years, INSTANTalarm 5000 has been probably the most widely-installed, staff duress alarm system in the world.

Rev up your engines

exciting time in Indy! On

Council, welcome to the 2014
General Assembly and Annual Conference on Oct. 7-11. We
hope you enjoy our Hoosier hospitality during your stay in
the Circle City.
Please visit us at the State Host Ambassador table in the
exhibit hall. We will have volunteers mingling among the
ENA staff in royal blue shirts to assist members as needed.
Members of the Indiana ENA also will be wearing ‘‘Hoosier
Nurse’’ buttons (pictured) and will be easily identifiable.
There are some great places to visit in downtown Indy,
from excellent food establishments to exceptional museums
such as the Indiana State Museum and the Eiteljorg Museum
of American Indians and Western Art. The Indianapolis Zoo
is right around the corner from
the JW Marriott, the host hotel,
and has some entertaining
orangutans that arrived this
summer. Indiana ENA
volunteers will have
information to assist meeting
participants, and the Indy
visitors bureau will be onsite if you are looking for
something fun to supplement your conference experience.
Please take some time to rejuvenate your spirit and enjoy
some wonderful education sessions at the conference.
Enjoy Indy!

Learn How to Plan CNE Events the Right WayW hether you’re a night owl or
an early riser, you’re invited
to stop by this year’s free night-shift
session ‘‘Professional Development
of CNE Products’’ on Friday,
Oct. 10, at the ENA Annual
Conference to learn more about the
American Nurse Credentialing
Center’s continuing nursing
education design criteria. ENA’s
ANCC lead nurse planner, Janet
Crawford, MSN, ACNS-BC, DNC,
will provide attendees with
valuable knowledge on how to
develop CNE educational products.
Crawford says this session will
help nurse planners gain a better
understanding of CNE criteria. Attendees will become clear
about the required resources for planning high-quality CNE
products as they evaluate processes for assessing gap
analysis, content integrity and evaluation of program
outcomes.
‘‘This is a wonderful and a problem-solving, targeted
presentation that will help nurse planners, peer reviewers
and ENA staff who are responsible and connected to a CNE
product,’’ Crawford said. ‘‘There are approximately 37 key
points for an educational program to meet criteria for CNE.
Most of the criteria are straightforward, and my presentation
will focus on the most challenging criteria.’’
Crawford also encourages
TNCC and ENPC course
directors to attend to gain a
better understanding of
post-program requirements for
educational activities with
contact hours.
‘‘If they attend, they will
be really clear on what they
need to submit following the
implementation of their
program,’’ Crawford said. She
plans to discuss the five
documents needed to provide
evidence of compliance with
ANCC 2013 accreditation
requirements, including
promotional materials used for an educational event and a
summative evaluation that has an emphasis on nursing
professional development.
‘‘I think this session will be helpful to the attendees so that
they can see how their CNE application can go through
without it being sent back for repeated revisions,’’ Crawford
said. ‘‘I anticipate that at the end of my 75-minute
presentation, attendees will know how to design a gap
analysis. They will be clear on what a commercial interest
entity is, and they will have better insight on how to resolve
conflicts of interest. These are the big problem areas.’’
