What is the Role of the Membership Committee?

The Membership Committee is responsible for increasing membership, retaining members, and developing new member benefits.

Crystal Nettles, Director and Chair,
​Membership Committee, Fall Memo

Greetings all and happy fall! I am cheerful that this season is full of learning and opportunities. Post COVID has been a challenge for us all and I hope you all had a smooth transition back into the academic year, clinical rotations (or into clinicals for the first time!), and into the exciting world as student nurses. Another school year and fall semester means new classes, knowledge, opportunities and one step closer to your dream of being a nurse. I’d like to welcome our new members and students who are just starting out. Although nursing school can be extremely busy, overwhelming, and time consuming, it is so important to allot some time for self-care. Having a strong support system while going through nursing school is critical. Forming bonds with your peers is always a benefit because it is therapeutic to talk to people who understand exactly what you are going through. Help each other out and learn from one another! We are all working hard in our roles, whether it’s as a student, a member, leader, friend, wife, or husband. Here at NSNA we understand that all of our members have responsibilities outside of nursing school and we want to be here to support and encourage you all. We can’t wait to see all the growth and success that this year has in store for you. 
 
Now we’ve started settling into the rhythm of this school year, I look forward to connecting with you and all NSNA members. Make sure to head over to the NSNA Board of Directors Facebook page to check-in, find the latest news and updates from the board, and get connected with students from across the country. Make sure to share your experiences, your challenges, and most importantly your successes and triumphs with all of us at NSNA. Sharing stories and personal experiences is a great way to encourage students to get involved and connect on a deeper level with a community of future nurses just like you!
