The SAU Chapter of the Arkansas Student Nurses’ Association is the student nurse professional organization on campus. SAU SNA is an enthusiastic, gifted group of student nurses who are extremely active in the community. The organization strives to inform nursing students of current health issues and promote socialization of nursing students into the professional nursing role.
ANSA State Convention is held in the fall, Midyear Conference follows, and NSNA National Convention occurs each spring.
The SAU Student Nurses’ Association completes approximately 2,000 hours of community service each academic year. Various annual activities of the chapter include: American Cancer Society Relay for Life, SAU Foundation Phonathon participants, American Red Cross Disaster Preparedness Training, Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, Hannah Medical Center Banquet, Angel Tree, Asthma Prevention and Awareness Program Initiative, and LifeShare blood drives. The chapter is also active in on-campus activities such as Preview Day, BAM, pre-nursing recruitment, Homecoming activities, and the Celebration of Lights.
How do I get involved?
Membership is open to nursing and pre-nursing students enrolled at SAU. Membership in SNA by pre-nursing majors does not guarantee admission into the Department of Nursing, but it does provide pre-nursing students with excellent opportunities to get involved in the culture of the department and network with potential future colleagues.
Anyone interested in joining can contact the faculty advisor, Tracy Woolfley.
