Dear Connecticut Student Nurses, 

The Connecticut Student Nurses Association (CSNA) is a chapter of the National Student Nurses Association (NSNA). CSNA consists of nursing students from all over the state of Connecticut and provides a resource for students to join together and participate in various activities. CSNA also encourages others, who are not nurses, to become a part of the nursing profession. 
One of the exciting activities that CSNA plans each year is the Council of School Presidents (COSP). The goal of the council is to facilitate communication among schools and to provide a forum for school presidents to share ideas.

The most important role of CSNA is planning for its state convention. This year’s convention will be held at Center Stage at Naugatuck Valley Community College and will focus on environmental Issues in nursing.  The convention is where students can gather with other students and nurses to learn about the endless opportunities involved in a career in nursing. The convention consists of guest speakers involved in nursing followed by an NCLEX review for students. It is also a great opportunity to meet with other nursing students and nurses from all over Connecticut to discuss ideas and experiences with each other.

This year’s convention will take place on Saturday, April 17^th.  We look forward to see everyone there!!

This all sounds wonderful right!  CSNA is currently looking for students interested in participating and planning the future of the association.  If you are interested in becoming a board member or working to help make CSNA better, please contact us via e-mail.   Also, we encourage all members to contact any board member with comments, suggestions, ideas or questions.  Again, you can reach us by email under the Board of Directors link.  Together, we can make this a great year for the CSNA!
