When using a wand of fireball, do you still have a bonus action available that round to cast Misty Step afterwards? Can anyone point me in the right direction where that information is found? I have not see that info yet. Last night I came into the situation and a fellow party member informed us that you do not get a bonus action if using an item such as a wand.

There is no restriction as to what bonus actions you are allowed to take when using your action to use a magic item.

 

The limit that is preventing a character from using misty step and a wand of fireball in the same turn is that if you cast a spell as a bonus action the only other spell you can cast is a cantrip with a 1 action casting time - which is covered on page 202 of the Player's Handbook.
