Student Nurses’ Association (SNA) is a student led organization for current nursing students at Madison College.
We provide a fun, relaxed environment for nursing students to find social support, work on professional development, participate in community events, and expand their nursing knowledge.

Nursing school is no cakewalk, and it is nice to be part of a group that can relate to the weekly challenges that nursing students face.

Every meeting we provide a guest speaker and food. The speaker is usually a nurse who comes to share with us what it is like to be a nurse in his or her area of expertise.

Our speaker for the month of October was Herbert “Chip” Feierabend.  He is a nursing instructor at Madison College who came to share with us the exciting opportunities in radiology.

For November, Claude Rochon, 2012 Madison Nurse of the Year, is coming to talk to us about his journey from ADN to MSN and global nursing. He is extending an invitation to Madison College nursing students to join him on a trip to Cambodia to participate in pediatric clinics. In December, we will have representatives from different universities available to discuss BSN completion programs.

In October, nursing students volunteered in Madison Public Schools as one of their various community out-reach opportunities. Nursing students and faculty assisted the school nurse in identifying elementary students with vision or hearing deficits.

All nursing students at Madison College (and prospective nursing students), are welcome to join us at an SNA meeting to find out what we’re all about. We meet the first Tuesday of every month in Room 338 in the Health Education Building. The next meeting is Dec. 3 at 2 p.m. Subsequent meetings will be from 2:30-3:30 p.m.
