Benefits of Membership
Becoming a member of the SNA provides the student nurse
with many benefits. The Board of Directors is striving hard to present
more and more opportunities for the members to represent themselves. SNA
members have opportunities to represent themselves to: the College of
Nursing faculty, to potential employers, to legislators of our state, to
the state level (TNA), and to national representatives of SNA.
Becoming an active member of the Student Nurses Association is an exciting
and rewarding experience. It will benefit us greatly in our transition
from student nurse to professional.

| Community:
SNA has been involved with different groups in
the Johnson City community volunteering many hours and manpower to help

Thanks to the contributions and support by
