The UW-Madison SNA has many interests, which include social, political and community involvement. The purpose of the organization is to better prepare the nursing student professionally, socially and academically, as well as to bridge the gap between faculty, administration and the students.
Students also have the option of joining the state and national level organizations.
Elections for memberships are conducted by the Student Nurses' Association. Presently, there are over 6,800 members spread throughout the United States and in several foreign countries. As a member of the NAO you will receive alumni newsletters to keep you abreast of School activities and provide news about classmates, faculty and friends. In addition, you will have the opportunity to become involved in alumni activities such as a Fall Brunch and Football Game, Spring Alumni Day, and to cooperate with organizations promoting nursing research. You are eligible for membership upon graduation from the School.
