Student Nurses Association (SNA) at FSU strives to assist future 'Nole Nurses with nursing curriculum, community service, networking, and job search. We hope to create memories and friendships that continue well beyond our years at FSU by providing a nursing community that is helpful and inviting. The Florida State University Student Nurses Association is directly affiliated with the Florida Nursing Students Association (FNSA) and National Student Nurses Association (NSNA). We have the pleasure of attending NSNA and FSNA conventions, where we are able to learn and work among colleagues and peers with the same aspirations - to uplift the profession of nursing starting with the nursing student.
