Sophomore Stephanie Easley, the club’s secretary; sophomore Jessica Castillo, the club’s senator; sophomore Amber Brunner, the club’s vice president; and sophomore Angela Shimek, the club’s publicity director, comprise the club’s leadership. Together, they organize events and meetings so members can broaden their experiences within the nursing field.

“Our club is all about providing events that will benefit our members with their future careers as nurses,” Brunner said.
Professional speakers, demonstrations and field trips are part of the club’s event schedule.

“Each year we take the second-year students up to the Portland campus for a tour,” Easley said. “We get to [view] the simulation labs, talk to current students and professors, tour the dorms we will be staying in, as well as experience the atmosphere of the Portland campus.
