Good Morning,
On behalf of the Student Nurses’ Association, I would like to
welcome back all of you returning students, and congratulate all the
new students beginning the program. We at the SNA have an exciting
year planned, and we hope you can be a part of it. We meet the third
Monday of every month in Locke 313 at 1300-1430. Join us this Monday,
August 30th, for our first meeting of the semester! There will be
free food (as always!), and Fall 2010 grads Debbi O’Sullivan and
Sherri Schmidt will be coming by to share their advice on surviving
the program, passing the NCLEX, and landing your first nursing job.
National Student Nurse Association representative Ginger Mann will
also drop by to talk about the NSNA and the benefits of membership.
Membership is NOT required for attendance of meetings or
participation in most club activities. All ADN, LVN, Psych Tech, and
pre-nursing students are invited! However, membership has many
advantages, including networking with faculty advisors, discounts on
patches and SNA merchandise, and an opportunity to attend the NSNA and
CNA conventions. In a job market full of new nurses, membership also
looks very good on a resume and can help you stand out amongst other
applicants. Ginger Mann will have more information at our next
meeting.

Hope to see you on Monday!
