The ENA, a longstanding professional organization advocating for patient safety and excellence in emergency nursing practice, honors emergency nurses who demonstrate “enduring and substantial contributions” to the emergency nursing field in education, practice, research, leadership and/or policy that surpass expectations and who demonstrate the potential for significant contributions in the future.

Castner is a board-certified emergency nurse and an ENA emergency nurse pediatric course provider and instructor holding several other certifications. Her research areas of interest include pulmonary disease and the environment, adult asthma, emergency department utilization, multi-level modeling, and sensors for health biofeedback interventions. Castner’s currently funded work focuses on diminishing the gender gap in adult asthma control, developing sensors and devices as clinical applications to improve asthma, and using a “big data” approach to ascertain asthma phenotypes (sub-types) and biomarkers.

Prior to her career in academia, Castner practiced as an emergency nurse in several hospitals across the United States.
