Kemble Green- President, greenkl1@goldmail.etsu.edu
I started my college education at Wake Forest University and remained there for my freshman year from 2010-2011. I transferred to ETSU in the summer of 2011 and was accepted into the College of Nursing for my bachelor's degree that fall. I'm a Midway Honor Scholar with the Honors College and an Honors-in-Discipline Scholar with the College of Nursing so I will be conducting research in the summer of 2013 on the contamination of scrubs in a hospital environment. Most of my family is involved in medicine so when I decided to go into nursing it was a simple decision because I wanted to provide primary care and really be involved in patients healing. I really love nursing and all of the knowledge and experience that can be gained from it. SNA is a chance for me to give back to my fellow students and help better the profession of nursing by giving the members opportunities to learn and experience even more than what classes and clinical might offer.
Danielle Defayette- Vice President, defayette@goldmail.etsu.edu
The job description of a nurse is to mend what is broken and help individuals cope with what cannot be. I strive to learn as much as I can because I know one day I will be the nurse who has the opportunity to help heal a broken individual. I will explain to someone what the body is doing and educate the mind on how to take proper care of it. I am currently the Vice President of Student Nurses Association and I try my best to be involved in numerous nursing endeavors. I am in Honors-in-Discipline with the College of Nursing and currently working on completing my thesis. I am an active participant in the interdisciplinary Rural Communities class working with Carter County middle schools.
Jacob Broge- Treasurer, brogej@goldmail.etsu.edu
I spent my freshman year at Elmhurst College, a small suburb of Chicago. Then I transferred to ETSU when my now-fiancée got a full-ride scholarship to play volleyball here. Before I became involved with SNA I was the Treasurer and then the Vice-President of the To Write Love On Her Arms ETSU chapter. TWLOHA is a group dedicated to presenting hope and finding help to those suffering from depression, self-injury, or thoughts of suicide. I first decided I wanted to be a nurse because of my extensive experience with nurses throughout my childhood. I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia when I was seven, and through my many stays at the hospital I had some amazing nurses and some who were absolutely terrible to me and my family. This showed me how incredible a difference a nurse can truly make in someone's life and in their overall well being, and I strain to emulate those who were so good to me in doing the same to every patient I encounter.
