At Michigan State University for my desired major
of nursing there is a Nursing Student Association. The biggest part of this
group is their concept of interacting outside the classroom to further the
learning and involvement. This is the only professional student organization
for the College of Nursing here at MSU. From how they represent themselves as a
group to the public and during the meetings, they show a very professional
atmosphere and help personally develop the students to prepare for jobs.
The NSA meetings are well run, provide support
for classes, community service opportunities, and a helpful community
environment all geared towards the same professional goals.
Benefits of being a member (directly from the website
http://nursing.msu.edu/students/Student%20Involvement/Nursing%20Student%20Association.htm )
- Monthly meetings with diverse
guests presenting on a variety of nursing opportunities available to you.
- Community service projects such
as cooking at the Ronald McDonald House, various events at the Lansing
Rescue Mission, Wynwood Retirement Center, and many more.

scholarships and various other prizes.
How to become a member:

in undergraduate nursing and a yearly fee of $10
I agree that it is very important to work outside of the classroom especially for nursing. Nursing is such a hands on major that is it important to have real world experience. This is important for my major too!
