Upcoming SNA on Dec 6th

Hey everyone. We're down to the final days of the semester. We are also having our last SNA meeting of the semester at 1PM in Locke 313. For this meeting, we have Nancy Ryan from Grand Canyon University. Are you interested in possibly going from RN to BSN while taking classes at home? GCU offers a online baccalaureate nursing program. If taking online classes even peaks your interest at all, then you should attend this meeting. For more information on Grand Canyon University check http://www.gcu.edu/.


Last meeting, we had nominations for officers and each ran unopposed.

Congratulations to the new officers for Spring 2011:

Anna Gonzales: President
Jody Sytten: Vice President
Paula Thomson: Treasurer
Clair Giedt: Secretary
Tanya Daniel: President-Elect


Being the last meeting and it getting close to the holidays, we'll also have a bunch of treats and food for everyone to snack on. Please join us as we try to end 2010 with a bang. It was great working with all of you this year. Thank you and good luck to everyone as you progress in your nursing careers.

Family Ties Halloween Event: Oct. 25, 2010

SNA's Community Health Committee held a Halloween event at Family Ties. The moms made Halloween picture frames (they are SO creative!) and enjoyed some candy. Fun hats, treat bags, and tons of candy were given to the children. Everyone had a wonderful time and they were very, very grateful. Here are a couple of pictures from the event, including their lovely creations!
