Strong Showing at ENRS for Columbia Nursing

Dozens of Columbia Nursing students, postdocs, faculty, and alumni attended the Eastern Nursing Research Society’s 38th Annual Scientific Sessions last month. 

"Strength in Nursing Science: Advancing Health Across Dynamic and Diverse Settings” was the theme of the conference, held March 25-27, 2026, in Everett, Mass. Also at the conference, Ann-Margaret Navarra, PhD ’11, officially took the helm as ENRS president. 

ENRS was established in 1988 as the research arm of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Nursing Association and the New England Organization for Nursing, with the mission of creating a community of nurses interested in promoting research.
