Student Nurses' Club

Each nursing student at MNU has the opportunity to belong to the Student Nurses' Organization as his or her first professional nursing organization. Membership in the local MNU organization can be extended to The National Student Nurses' Association (NSNA) at the state and national levels, if desired. Advantages of belonging to the NSNA include eligibility for an increased number of scholarships, health insurance, national publications, and discounts in a variety of businesses and organizations.

Members of the local MNU Student Nurses' Organization have participated in service projects such as taking blood pressures in the community, collecting items/food for needy students, collecting clothes for a local children's hospital, and sponsoring a children's health fair. Fundraising events have included T-shirt and jacket sales and medical equipment sales. Special speakers at the organization's monthly meetings reflect the special interests of students. These have included a neonatal intensive care unit nurse, armed forces recruiters, and a speaker reporting about graduate educational opportunities available to students. Attendance at the state and national meetings is also possible for organization members.

Social support is also an important function of MNU's Student Nurses' Organization. Monthly meetings and planning for social gatherings for nursing students are always a priority. These gatherings provide a way for nursing students to meet and support each other, socialize with nursing faculty, and carry out the MNU motto: to learn, to serve, to be.

Please come and be a vital part of our MNU Student Nurses' Organization!
