Nursing Student Association 
of 
South Dakota State University

The Nursing Student Association of SDSU is the only student nursing organization on the SDSU campus. As you advance in your nursing education, NSA can help you build the leadership skills you need to be successful in the health care field. 

The NSA mission is:

·         To organize, represent, and mentor students preparing for initial licensure as registered nurses, as well as those nurses enrolled in baccalaureate completion programs

·         To promote development of skills needed to be responsible and accountable members of the nursing profession

·         To advocate high quality health care

NSA recognizes that future leaders of the 21st century will confront a complex workplace in a diverse world. NSA brings together students, the university, the faculty, and the community to help you grow and develop necessary leadership skills and provide growth opportunities that you can get nowhere else than right here at SDSU with your NSA involvement.
 

Here’s how you get involved with NSA:

Pre-nursing and nursing students are eligible to be involved in this exciting opportunity. Here’s How:

·         Get an application from the NSA office, or Nursing Student Services, fill it out, send it in with your payment

·         Get involved and attend fun events

·         It’s that easy!

Being a member of NSA helps nursing students develop leadership skills, but it also provides an opportunity for students to build social skills and just have fun!

Meetings are scheduled for the first Thursday of each month at 5:00P.M. in NFA 238. Everyone is welcome to attend the meetings. Check this web site, the NSA office, or signs in NFA for changes or updates.
