What does SNA have to offer it's students? 

SNA is your way to set up relationships with other nurses and faculty that enable you to broaden your resources. You’ll gain great and dependable references, and find that being connected makes it easier to find out more about what the the field of nursing can offer you. I personally like SNA because I feel like I have a greater pool of knowledge, experience, and leadership to draw upon for future interviews, and for use in the field. 

You can also find greater competence and confidence in your ability to work in teams towards a greater goal, and that can be applied to the workplace in any medical setting. In addition to thinking about what SNA can do for you, it also helps to consider the great amount of things you have to offer for others. Service is a huge part of personal growth, and the selfless participation of nursing students in the past has proved a monumental benefit by providing Newborn kits, blood drives, Festival of Trees (which donates to Primary Childrens), Sweethearts dances and much more to those in need of the Christlike love we have to offer. Come join in the ranks of those that want to do more with their time here at BYU!
