Re: Who is going to CSU- San Marcos BSN program FALL 2009
The SNA chapter is very active in the college community helping raise our profile. We organize community projects, offer health advice to the college newspaper, and help new students adjust to the rigors of nursing school. There's a mentorship program in place that matches an incoming student with an upperclassmen. My position on the board is to organize activities outside of school so that you can get together with the other nursing students in the SON that you might not otherwise get a chance to interact with. Is it worth the investment? that's up to the individual person. I haven't used the discounts for anything yet, but I feel like it could be something that sets me apart from the rest of the pack. I've heard of SNA students being picked over non-SNA students for extern positions (with everything else being equal; grades, etc) so it might prove to be useful. It's as useful as you make it.
Once you start classes, your cohort will have to pick a representative and treasurer who will be your link between the board and your cohort. Anyone is welcome to attend the meetings, but u must be a member to serve on the board. Hope this helps...
