National Student Nurses' Association and UMass Student Nurses' Association The National Student Nurses' Association (NSNA) is an organization that was established in 1952, with the assistance of the American Nurses Association and the National League for Nursing, to prepare nursing students to be active nurse leaders and participants in their professional organizations. NSNA strives to provide the opportunities necessary to explore and understand the many different aspects of the nursing profession. Through the guidance of prominent nursing leaders and peers from around the country, students will learn self-governance, advocacy for student rights and the rights of patients and to take collective, responsible action on vital social and political issues. Membership in NSNA is voluntary and is open to all nursing students in associate degree, diploma, baccalaureate, generic masters and doctoral programs. For more information please visit the NSNA website at www.nsna.org or call the main office at (212) 581-2211. The UMass Amherst Student Nurses' Association (SNA), a chapter of the national association, is a registered student organization that has been formed in conjunction with the School of Nursing at UMass. SNA was developed to meet the needs and goals of student nurses while enabling them to grow socially and professionally. The Student Nurses' Association is a very active organization focused on leadership and fellowship. In a community-focused atmosphere, SNA allows the student to explore the many aspects of the nursing profession. All pre-nursing and nursing majors at the University are encouraged to
participate actively in SNA. In this way, students are able to learn leadership
and organizational skills, which are expected in the practice of professional
nursing. Several programs that SNA has sponsored throughout the years
have gained the support of the student body and contributed to the ongoing
success of this organization within the Commonwealth and nationally. The
President for the 2006-2007 academic year is Pam Horan. She can be contacted by email at
phoran@student.umass.edu or via the SNA mailbox in 221 Arnold House. The meetings are usually held bi-weekly
throughout the academic year. |
