Student Nurses' Association
Becoming a member of the Student Nurses' Association (SNA) is an exciting and rewarding
experience that provides the student nurse with many benefits. The Board of Directors
is striving hard to present more opportunities for members to represent themselves
to the College of Nursing faculty, potential employers, legislators of our state,
the state level, (TNA) and to national representatives of the SNA.
Purpose of the SNA

- To provide programs representative of fundamental and current professional interest and concerns.

SNA in the Community
The Student Nurses Association (SNA) is actively engaged in the Johnson City community, contributing time, energy, and resources to promote health, service, and overall well-being. SNA members regularly collaborate with local organizations to support community members, including efforts to provide meals and assistance to individuals experiencing homelessness.
SNA has also expanded its outreach through partnerships with groups such as the Girl Scouts, offering health education, mentorship, and engaging activities that encourage healthy habits and leadership development among youth.
In addition to community involvement, SNA prioritizes campus outreach by creating opportunities for ETSU students to connect, serve, and grow through meaningful service experiences. These initiatives help foster a strong sense of community on campus while encouraging a commitment to improving public health.
With continued support from local organizations, ETSU, and community members, SNA has experienced significant growth in membership. This growth has strengthened the organization’s ability to expand its outreach, enhance programming, and make a lasting impact both on campus and throughout the Johnson City community.

Promoting Professional Organizations
The National Student Nurses Association (NSNA) is a pre-professional organization that encourages all nursing and pre-nursing students in any state-approved program preparing for RN licensure, or registered nurses in a program leading to a baccalaureate in nursing to become involved.
Over 30,000 nursing students are already taking advantage of the many benefits and opportunities that NSNA has to offer. Just a few of the benefits offered to members of NSNA are leadership opportunities through state and national offices; representation in the annual House of Delegates; discounts on products and services; a subscription to NSNA's official magazine published by and for nursing students and an opportunity to influence nursing practice in the future.
