* Student representative to Faculty (Deans, Level Chairs, tutors)
* Student representative to external groups and organizations (on and
off campus)
* The President attends regular meetings, writes letters on behalf of
nursing students, and establishes communication with new contacts
* These ways of communication with external decision makers and groups
are extremely valuable when bringing up student concerns, or taking a
student stance on an issue. These groups can make lots of changes, and
really hear what students have to say
*
* Our connection to student government at each of our 3 campuses
* The VPs can take nursing student issues and bring them to the
attention of student leaders who are working on behalf of ALL
students.
* This can give us more support and strength for overcoming our student
issues. Many times, other faculties have gone through similar issues and
we can learn from what they did.
* Often times our issues and concerns are the same as students from
other faculties, so adding our input will give MSU/MSA/CSI leaders a
stronger case for their issues and solutions.
*
* Official student representatives on the Undergraduate Nursing
Education Council (UNEC), CQSIC
* Chairs of the MUNSS Education Committee
* The Committee can prepare statements and stances, in preparation
for the Education Reps’ meetings with these Committees.
* These committees constantly seek feedback and student opinion on the
nursing program, curriculum, and any suggestions or changes that could
be made.
* Any and all changes to courses and the program go through these
committees, so our student voice here is so important!
*
* Representatives of the students in each level/stream of the BScN
program
* Which means:
* Talk to your classmates and students in each level/stream! Find out what
they like and what they don’t like about their classes and program
structure. Do they have suggestions for how it could be done better?
* Bring up the feedback and issues at MUNSS meetings so we can all talk
about it and take a position/stance on the issues
* Talk to your Education Reps – see if they can give you specific help or
guidance
