National Student Nursing Association
Founded in 1952, the National Student Nurses Association (NSNA) is a nonprofit organization for students enrolled in associate, baccalaureate, diploma, and generic graduate nursing programs. The association mentors the professional development of future registered nurses and facilitates their entrance into the profession by providing educational resources, leadership opportunities, and career guidance. Each nursing school has their own NSNA organization. For more information go to www.nsna.org
BHSON's chapter of NSNA encourages all students to participate in monthly meetings and activities. The goal is to facilitate activities and programs that support not only our students but the surrounding communities. SNA has:
- Facilitated food and supply drives for local agencies
- Participated in disaster relief drives for various natural disasters
- Volunteered to serve Thanksgiving dinner to under-served populations
- Hosted holiday parties and Paint Nights
- Made and sold cancer awareness bracelets to raise funds and awareness for Signature Healthcare's HOPE Fund
- Participated in Signature Healthcare's Cancer Walk and Ring of Champions Dinner
And so much more. If you have an idea, suggestion, concern or want to get involved please contact your class representative or come to an NSNA meeting.
