Hello Nursing Students!

State Convention is coming up October 22-24 in a beautiful beachside hotel/resort in Daytona Beach.

I want to encourage as many students as possible to come with us. It's a great opportunity to network with possible employers and graduate schools, meet other nursing students from across the state, and make an actual difference in nursing and nursing education policy.

We only have 9 delegate slots (but we can take 12 students or more total). What a delegate gets to do is sit in on the FNSA legislative body meeting and take part in passing or shouting down resolutions that then get presented to our Sate Legislators in Tallahassee or even Washington D.C.. It's pretty exciting and a really great experience (might look good on a resume too?).

There are lots of fun and interesting sessions that go on at convention. One example is a forensic nurse specialist will be presenting what that role is like and what it takes to have that specialty.

The cost to attend is $45. UNF SNA will be paying the other $90 that it will cost per student to attend, so it's actually a great deal!

If you are interested in coming, please email Michelle Brooks with your name, phone number, email address, and NSNA membership number (if you remember/have it, if you don't have it let me know).

Please let me know as soon as possible, Friday (10/16) is the end of registration. After you let me know, contact your teacher and he/she will likely work with you on making up assignments or taking tests a day or 2 early.

I can't wait to hear from you! This is going to be a great convention.

Thanks to everyone who came out an participated. It was a lot of fun and I feel we represented our nursing program well. I'm confident we will win the trophy next year.
