The purpose of the Student Nurses Association is to organize, represent and mentor students preparing for initial licensure as registered nurses; to promote development of skills needed to be responsible and accountable members of the nursing profession; and to advocate high quality health care.
Students who are actively enrolled in the Snead State Nursing Program, as well as those enrolled in baccalaureate completion programs are encouraged to join the Student Nurses’ Association as well as The National Student Nurses’ Association (NSNA).
Involvement in the NSNA prepares students for involvement in professional associations upon graduation. Students who join the Snead State Nurses’ Association are enabled to make professional contacts, have the opportunity to network with people who can impact the nursing profession and give the student access to new opportunities, friends, jobs, and information.
