草榴社区

Two representatives from the 草榴社区 College of Nursing Chapter of the Student Nurses鈥� Association of Pennsylvania (SNAP) attended the National Student Nurses鈥� Association (NSNA) Summer Leadership Conference in New York City held at the Mt. Sinai Medical Center on July 26th. SNAP-草榴社区 faculty advisor Carol Weingarten, PhD, RN, ANEF spoke on the topic "School Chapter Advisors:  Inspiring and Mentoring Future Leaders." 

The annual conference allows attendees to better understand NSNA鈥檚 mission and programs and share ideas to create stronger chapters.

鈥淭he NSNA Summer Leadership Conference was a wonderful experience in which I not only had the opportunity to meet other nursing students and faculty, but also learned some new ideas that can further strengthen our already award-winning SNAP chapter. It was also great to listen to Dr. Weingarten speak about her vital role as faculty advisor for 草榴社区's NSNA/SNAP chapter,鈥� said junior Liz Long, legislative coordinator for both the chapter and state.   

Her sister, Meghan Long, a sophomore and one of SNAP-草榴社区's Athletic Liaisons, also enjoyed Dr. Weingarten鈥檚 talk and meeting other nursing students from across the country. 鈥淭he presentations were very informative and I learned a lot about managing nursing associations and other associations I can get involved with in the future,鈥�  she notes.
