August

Big/Little Program: Seniors, remember how overwhelmed & confused you felt last fall? We want to try and make the transition into nursing school a little easier for the incoming juniors! The intention of the Big/Little program can be compared to how you would help out a friend that is in the program. We just want the Juniors to have a source who can offer advice about how to study, where to find great resources, or just to tell them, you will survive this!

* Littles, if you have not heard from your Big yet, please send us an email as soon as possible. Thank you! *

24th SNA Orientation: It was great meeting all the incoming nursing students! We know it was a long day, but we hope you found the orientation helpful. For those who could not make it, please feel free to stop by the SNA office located in Robinson A, 3rd floor during our office hours to get information about SNA, buy apparel, etc!
