Running for Nursing Class Officer - ideas?

Published

So, I've been nominated for a position as an officer for my nursing class, and this particular office is something I'd really like to do.

However, I'm not one of the "spring chickens" at 45, so I really feel out of touch with some of the "cutesy" campaigns that I've seen in the past.

I've got good credentials, my classmates like me (or if they don't I'm clueless because I seem to get along well with everyone, we have about 55 in our class) but I'm shy about tooting my own horn.

Ideas? I ran for student council in 8th grade, and then for a student gov't. role when I was 17 and off to college for my first degree, but that's been a LONG time!

Any ideas for some up-to-date campaigning? I'll post on webCT, Facebook.

Help!! Elections are a week from today!

Hmmm....

I'm one of two student council reps for our class (I'm 38). never did any 'campaigning.'

Since I'm in a BSN program, it's been a LONG 3 year commitment.

Just make sure you are up to the challenge. It looks good on a resume,

but it's a lot of work. And sometimes you get blamed for things that

are the school's fault. But I have thick skin and don't care :lol2:

I'm just encouraging you to think through your other commitments and make

sure you will have the etc., time to dedicate. We ended up having to plan our pinning

ceremony, fundraising, and the list goes on....

Best of luck to you.
