What it reported doing in 2024

Educational courses: providing and assisting with educational courses is one of our primary objectives. Texas state council (txena) promotes educational opportunities developed and implemented at the state chapter levels for emergency nurse members and non-members. During the year, chapters held over 25 educational offerings including but not limited to human trafficking, leadership, nursing jurisprudence, care of the geriatric patient, care of high-risk populations, wellness, self-care and resilience. Txena sponsored an educational conference "in the heat of Texas" to address heat related injuries. The topics chosen are presented by experienced, skilled content experts and are well attended. The grant provided by and received from yale university is instrumental in the Texas pediatric readiness project and education. This project makes it possible for a collaborative effort of Texas ena to bring pediatric readiness and simulation education to Texas trauma center emergency departments.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 82% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 83% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
