SNA in the Community
SNA has been involved with different groups in the Johnson City community volunteering many hours and manpower to help promote community health and well being. SNA worked with the American Red Cross's blood drive, recruiting volunteers, and managing the drive. Also the SNA participated in "Into the Street" working with Habitat for Humanity to feed some of the areas homeless population.

Promoting Professional Organizations
The National Student Nurses Association (NSNA) is a pre-professional organization that encourages all nursing and pre-nursing students in any state-approved program preparing for RN licensure, or registered nurses in a program leading to a baccalaureate in nursing to become involved.
Over 30,000 nursing students are already taking advantage of the many benefits and opportunities that NSNA has to offer. Just a few of the benefits offered to members of NSNA are leadership opportunities through state and national offices; representation in the annual House of Delegates; discounts on products and services; a subscription to NSNA's official magazine published by and for nursing students and an opportunity to influence nursing practice in the future.
