Welcome Message from the Board
MSNA is a pre-professional organization for the state and connected
with the NSNA (National Student Nurse Association). If you do not have
an SNA, that’s ok! This website applies to all individuals interested
in MNSA, NSNA, and the professional organization representing student
nurses.
Chances are, there are nursing students in your school that are NSNA
members or at the very least, nursing students with a passion for the
profession that is the nursing field. We want to give you a heads up
for what will be going on this year!
All members of NSNA should be receiving the Imprint Magazine
bi-monthly. This magazine provides you information with what is
happening on the national level.
Please keep us updated with any projects of research or service, etc.
that your school’s nursing club is doing. We would love to make you a
part of our newsletter/website and have all the school’s around the
state of MN see what’s going on from place to place.
We at MSNA understand that nursing school can be a stressful time;
however, this is your chance to make a change and gain knowledge on
nursing policy and practice. It also gives you a chance for general
networking with those from around the state. We simply ask that you
forward questions, comments, and queries to our executive board so
that we can communicate with you and your fellow students about future
MSNA events and happenings.
Thanks for your time and thanks for visiting!

National Convention in Salt Lake City!
The Minnesota Executive Board was pleased to have all newly inducted members attend the NSNA National Convention held in Salt Lake City. Each member learned new things about their elected position as well as how we as a state can grow in the nursing field. We look forward to applying these in the coming year.
Keynote speaker Patrick Hickey, RN, BSN, MS, MSN, DrPH, CNOR who is a clinical assistant professor at the University of South Carolina-Columbia shared with us the “7 Summits of Nursing.” He has climbed the 7 highest summits in the world and with that believes “nurses can do anything.” We encourage you to check out his book “7 Summits: A Nurse’s Quest to Conquer Mountaineering and Life” to gain a different perspective on the nursing field we all have come to love. He says, “We can learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.”
The board was excited we were able to be present for one of our own Minnesota gals giving up her position on the National board. Kelsey Scanlon, newly graduate of the University of Minnesota Rochester, spent the last year as the Vice President on the NSNA Executive Board of Directors. She represented Minnesota with grace and dignity. We are very proud of everything you have done Kelsey! Congratulations and best of luck to you in your future endeavors!
