Student Nurse Organizations?

[ibmaryann]

We have several student nurse organizations at our school which we are encouraged to join. I was wondering how many of you participate in these and what are the benefits to being a member. I know I will have very little extra time to spend on them so what is your opinion of joining. Oh yea, by the way, one fee is $30 and the other is free.

Thanks in advance,

when i was a nursing student i belonged to the national student nurses association and thereby my state (california) student nurses association. the coolest thing was that i was able to attend one of the state student nurse workshops sponsored by the california student nurses association over one weekend. it was without a doubt the best, most stimulating weekend ever. i came back energized anew about nursing and determined that it definitely was the career i wanted. i got to meet the person who was the president of the california board of nursing! as well as several nurses who were pioneers and leaders in the field at the time. this was definitely one of the benefits of being a member. there is always the option to attend the national annual conference and meeting, but i couldn't afford the travel and cost.

here is a link to their website. check it out. you will find a link there that lists all the local state chapters so you can check to see which ones are affiliated with your school or within your area so you will know which ones are connected with nsna.

Part of our tuition went to pay for a membership in the NSNA. I was fortunate enough to attend the annual conferences to represent our school in 2005 and 2006. They were, as another poster said, quite stimulating. You get to network, sit in on breakout sessions, and most importantly, get a real feel for how people view nurses.

one of the reasons why nursing isn't a stronger force in the labor market is because we don't stick together. Nursing organizations help achieve that goal, except there are two darn many of them. At least join one of the the Biggest One.

PHYSIOLOGICAL TREATMENTS FOR CANCER

The next scientific meeting of the Society for Orthomolecular Health Medicine is scheduled for FEBRUARY 24-26, 2012

Topic This Year: The Links Between Nutrition and Cancer

OHM was founded in 1994 to promote orthomolecular health-medicine, based on the medical use of nutrients, detoxification from pollutants, and physiological support of healing.

Our Faculty are among the most experienced orthomolecular healers on Earth, now addressing the nutrition-hormonal interfaces that provide insights into cancer initiation and growth and offer new possibilities for healing, adaptation, survival and better quality of life.

This year we will be covering Physiological treatments for cancer. Our guest speakers will cover a variety of topics including Cell Sensitivity and Low Dose Chemotherapy, Nagalase and Enzyme Therapy, use of Glutathione and Stem Cells and much more. This year we have two workshops which will be conducted separately on Sunday. Through these workshops, attendees will cover Oxidative and IV Therapies and Practical uses of IV vitamin C.
