Hey everyone. I've rescheduled the Hurst Review information session to next Monday on 11/29 at 1:00 PM. If you've been interested in taking the review or have any questions, please find time to make it to the session on Monday. This will not be a normal meeting and will purely be an information session. As always, SNA membership is not required to attend.

Jilllian Michaelson BSN, RN is the Hurst representative that will be coming to our campus. She will be bringing food for lunch, so in addition to feeding your minds she'll be feeding your stomachs as well!

I look forward to seeing you there!

Hurst Information Session CANCELLED

Just wanted to let you know that due to unforeseen circumstances, the representative from Hurst Review services had to cancel tomorrow's information session. If there is enough interest, I may be able to reschedule for her to another session. Please let me know (ajarriola7@gmail.com) if this applies to you. Sorry if this causes any inconvenience.

Test Bank Makeover

Hey SNA members present, future and past! Just in case you do not already have enough on your plate, are there any members that are interested in contributing to and updating the old original test bank. Many of the links are no longer active and there are so many practice question gems out there in all of the class blogs that will be lost if their links are not posted into the test bank. This has been a great resource for so many and can be so much better if we had an ongoing crew of dedicated practice NCLEX question finders, posters and updaters into the old bank. Is there any interest in adding a panel that involves the banking business into the association?

Special Documentation Lecture

Hello everyone. Unfortunately at Monday's meeting (10/18), we ran out of time and Cheri Wells, MSN, RN was unable to give her presentation on documentation. Fortunately, she is able to do it another day.

Currently, we have the special lecture scheduled for November 1st (11/01) in Locke 313 @ 1300. It will NOT be next Monday so as not to conflict with the Family Ties volunteering event. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. You will be updated if there are any changes.

Thank you,
-AJ Arriola
