I'll be attending again this year. I really enjoyed the experience last year as it allows you to interacts with students of other nursing programs from all over the US and see how their programs work. You also get the opportunity of sharing ideas for fundraisers and community outreach projects which is great for expanding and improving our local chapters of the SNA. There are also great breakout sessions and getting to listen to the resolutions was also very interesting as it revealed topics that are "hot" in the medical field so to speak. Looking forward to a great week!
