nursing professional organizations

[chprout]

Hello. I am a student nurse, and have a question for you.

I'd like to hear some of your views on professional nursing organizations, such as NSNA (National Student Nurses Association) and others.

Have you or did you find organizations to be a worthwhile investment? What kinds of things do they offer you that you like? Did you use their services when looking for a new job? And, did you find that participating in an organization actually helped to further your career in any way?

What are the organizations that are worth having on your resume?

Thank you.
