What : Fall 2014 CSNA (Colorado Student Nurses Association) Convention
Where : The University of Northern Colorado (we will work on a carpool)
When : October 11th, 2014
Time : TBD
Why : As an organization representing nursing students throughout Colorado,
CSNA believes it is important to facilitate communication between nursing students conventions provide an excellent opportunity for students to network with nurses from across the state and help make the transition from a student to a professional nurse. Students have the chance to engage in discussions about current issues nurses face, explore career and leadership opportunities, as well as the privilege to network with nurses and companies looking to hire new graduates from across the state.
So, save the dates for the 2014 CSNA conventions.
We hope to see you there!
Price : $35 for members and $45 for non-members.
If you are a member of NSNA, you are also a member of CSNA!!
