About Us
Introduction
(Please download and read the 2011 NSA bylaws to learn more about NSA at SFSU)
The student body of the School of Nursing at San Francisco State University recognizes the importance of having a student organization to represent Nursing students on campus, to be named Nursing Students Association at San Francisco State University, hereinafter referred to as NSA at SFSU. This organization exists to promote a positive image of the School of Nursing and to encourage students to participate in school related activities sponsored by our Association, and to encourage them in their choosing the profession of Nursing. NSA at SFSU will serve as a constituent chapter of the California Nursing Students’ Association and the National Student Nurses’ Association, hereinafter referred to as CNSA and NSNA, respectively.
Philosophy
The NSA will be the voice for the student body. Every officer accepts the position freely and should embrace the opportunity to be part of the NSA. As an officer of the NSA we/you have also accepted the responsibilities that are a part of being an officer. As an individual of the NSA each one of us has an opportunity to leave an imprint on society, whether it is through a toy drive, a published article, or creating a resolution. We are in a position to make change let us not take it for granted.
