Any nursing major may join. Members are encouraged to attend the meetings but are not required. Students can join by filling out a form and dropping it in room 312-A of Wharton Hall on the main campus of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, or by giving the form to an ULSNA officer. Membership dues for new members are $40.00; this includes membership in ULSNA, Louisiana Association of Student Nurses (LASN) and National Student Nurses Association (NSNA). These dues pay for a one year membership; renewal membership is $50.00 and a two year membership is also available for $80.00.
The University of Louisiana at Lafayette Student Nurses Association is an association for all nursing students attending the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Our purpose is to represent UL Student Nurses in the community. Meetings are held once a month and everyone is invited to attend. The times and locations of the meeitngs vary so check the bulletin board for updated information. ULSNA strives to have a speaker/presenter at each meeting. If you would like to know the specifics about the organization itself, there is a copy of the by-laws in room 312-A of Wharton Hall on the main campus of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
The benefits of ULSNA are information about current nursing events, free pizza at the meetings, interesting speakers on a variety of topics, and many other great reasons (check us out to find out more). We often have nurses from different specialities speak at our meetings so that students can find out about these specialities. The benefits for LASN and NSNA are endless. They offer discount on insurance, credit cards, discounts on popular nursing magazines and most importantly they offer scholarships to current members.
ULSNA has a bulletin board on the first floor of Wharton Hall on the main campus of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Meeting times and important information regarding ULSNA can be found on the bullietin board or here on this website. Please feel free to contact any officer listed on the contact page with any questions. We look forward to seeing you, and have a great semester!
