NSA also helps students gain information about career choices and teaches about the many and varied opportunities for nurses through guest speakers and other meetings on informational topics. Members of Florida State's NSA chapter also have the opportunity to participate in the local chapter of the Florida Nurses Association. These meetings provide nursing students with the opportunity to talk with people who are in the field in order to further their insight into the nursing profession. NSA stresses community involvement. Current community activities include amblyopia screening at local preschools, teaching bicycle safety at local schools and blood pressure screening among senior citizens groups.
Many members participate in an annual state convention.
In addition, many also attend the national convention. These conventions provide nursing students with the opportunity to meet students from other school as well as attend workshops on different facets of nursing. In addition, many Florida State students are involved in the NSA government at the state and national levels. Click here to link to the Florida State Nursing Students Association homepage.
