Avila Student Nurse Organization (ASNO)
ASNO is available for
those students who have declared an interest or a major in nursing.
The purpose of the organization is to formulate a bonding organization
of individuals concerned with not only the physical, but emotional,
psychological and basic needs of fellow human beings.
The organization aims to involve freshman and sophomore nursing
students and foster added interest of junior and senior students
through
1. Community volunteer services;
2. Lectures and demonstrations to supplement academic and clinical
experiences;
3. A medium in which information and assistance can be obtained
through peers and faculty;
4. Unifying, activating, and developing relationships between nursing
students so as to strengthen their professional and personal endeavors;
5. An organization in which members can keep well informed as to
trends in nursing, government legislation, and the community.
Through membership in ASNO students will develop peer relations,
communication skills, civic involvement, knowledge and applied skills.

National
Student Nurses' Association (NSNA)
The NSNA was established in 1952 as a result of a collaborative
effort with the American Nurses' Association (ANA). Pre-nursing
, associate degree, BSN, and BSN completion students are eligible
for membership with the NSNA. Nursing students govern the association
through the Board of Directors, the Nominations and Elections Committee,
and the House of Delegates. Participation in the association fosters
active participation in professional nursing organizations upon
graduation and licensure. Past leaders of the NSNA have served in
various leadership positions in the ANA and other professional nursing
organizations.
Each year the NSNA hosts a Mid-Year Conference and Annual Convention
that give members the opportunity to participate in social events,
the House of Delegates, trends and issues in nursing, and interactions
with guest speakers and exhibitors. In 2002, the Mid-Year Conference
was held in Kansas City, Missouri.
The ASNO Board will be exploring joining the NSNA as a School Chapter
Constituent. Constituency status would entitle ASNO to one representative
in the House of Delegates, resolution submission rights, and access
to various award programs.
