The Student Nurses' Association (SNA) is a student-led, professionally oriented organization that supports the academic, clinical, and leadership development of individuals pursuing a career in nursing. The association provides a structured environment where students can engage beyond the classroom to strengthen professional identity, collaboration, and service.
Through the Student Nurses' Association students participate in a wide range of activities, including community volunteer initiatives, health education and promotion events, peer networking, and discussions on current issues in nursing and healthcare. These experiences are designed to enhance clinical insight, foster leadership skills, and promote a commitment to service within both the campus setting and the broader Washington, D.C. community.
As an integral organization within the Conway School of Nursing, the SNA serves as a liaison between students, faculty, and staff, helping to communicate student perspectives, support academic success, and contribute to a cohesive learning environment. The association also encourages professional engagement, mentorship, and collaboration across cohorts.
The organization operates as the local chapter of the National Student Nurses' Association (N.S.N.A.). To be recognized as an active member of the local chapter, students must maintain current membership with the NSNA, which provides access to national resources, professional development opportunities, leadership training, scholarships, and participation in regional and national nursing conferences.
