Did you get any real benefit from being in the Student Nurses Assoc.?

Yes...I got to list it on my resume and for a mere $10, I got a cord to wear on graduation.

I didn't think it was worth the money I spent, IMHO. I only joined to list it on my resume, and looking back, that wasn't such a bright idea. I could have found better things to spend my $$ on.

Just my $.02

Best,

I have looked at getting it and plan on it, you can get mal-practice insurance CHEAP, and just so you know MOST colleges malpractice insurance only covers you while your at your college, once you graduate and someone decides to name you on a suit, your responsible for it 100% your college malpractice insurance will not cover it, nor will your current police (its like $29 a year for 1,000,000/6,000,000 coverage (1 mil per occurance, 6 a year) thats why I am joining

Didn't help me one bit.

BTW, you don't have to be a member to find inexpensive malpractice insurance.

It got me access to the MNA conference...so I basically got to skip some school and party hard core at a casino during the states nursing conference. So yeah, it was worth it to me, haha.

Is it okay if I add my question to this thread? Are you guys talking about the national association, or would your state association be the way to go (if anything)? For those of you who like the idea, which would/did you join?

Yeah. I got an all expenses paid trip across the country to attend the NSNA convention in Salt Lake City. Not too shabby.
