Why I Love

"I love SNA because of everything it stands for. Community, selflessness, and professional leadership" J.M. Senior I

"When I first started LSUHSC-SON, I was highly interested in joining SNA. I wanted to join because to be a nurse you have to have a strong quality to care. You have to care not only for your patient, but your patient’s

• community. How are you able to care for

your patient’s community if you are not on the forefront helping that community out. SNA has helped me strengthen my quality to care for those around me. That is why I joined and that is why I absolutely love this

• rganization" A.T. Junior II

"SNA has brought me wonderful opportunities. My favorite one was being able to attend our national convention in Salt Lake City, Utah! I am also constantly learning how to be a better student nurse through the amazing resources that SNA provides. Our school chapter is also very involved in the New Orleans community. Engaging with local non- profit organizations is both rewarding and eye opening." C.J. Junior II
