Hope that winter break proved to be fun and relaxing for everyone! It’s a start of a new semester which means that it’s time to start something new. I invite everyone to come to the monthly Nursing Club meetings and find some exciting ways to get involved!

Our future club meetings will take place at 1pm in Stevenson 2079 on January 23rd, February 6th, March 5th, and April 2nd.

We will be discussing ways to get involved in the local community such as participating in Relay for Life and volunteering at local food banks and charities.

Hope to see everyone there!

This semester has been flying by! Hope everyone is geared up and prepared for finishing up those projects, finals, and graduating for some! Before we know it the annual Nursing Winter Party will be here. I hope to see everyone on December 2nd ready to enjoy a night of friends, food, and fun! Check out the calendar for more details. Good luck to everyone in the next few weeks!

Also, click here for the flyer for our Dine and Donate event at El Torito! Please print this flyer and bring it in to support and raise money for the SSU Pinning Club! Bring your family and friends! The event will be: Thursday 12/8 at El Torito: 5090 Redwood Dr, Rohnert Park, 11am-9pm. See you there!

I am sure at this point everyone is full into the swing of classes, homework, studying, and clinical rotations. On October 3rd we had our second Nursing Club meeting of the semester and it was great to see some new faces as well as some familiar ones. We discussed many upcoming events and opportunities during the meeting and it would be awesome to see everyone get involved in some way. Please refer to Meeting Notes, Events, and the Calendar to see how you can get involved! Our next meeting will be on Monday November 7th at 1:30 pm in the Multi-Purpose Room of the Student Union. Best of luck to everyone as this semester continues!

Welcome back to the Nursing Club as we dive right into Fall 2011! It was great to see so many people at our first meeting and it’s clear that there are going to be tons of fun events and opportunities this year. Be sure to check in for Events, the Calendar, our Meeting Notes, and all the other great resources we have on the website here. Looking forward to an exciting semester! Our next meeting will be in the Multipurpose room at the Student Union, Monday October 3rd at 1:30pm. Hope to see you there!

Also… believe it or not, another year has flown by. We’ve all survived and succeeded through the thousands of pages of reading, the ATI exams, the summary briefs, and the early mornings of clinicals. Congrats to everyone for working so hard, and thanks for being a part of the Nursing Club. It’s been a fun year! Now let’s relax, recharge, and enjoy the summer!!!! See you all in the Fall!

Elections are here! Click here for descriptions of each position. If you’re interested in running, please email your name, which position you’re running for, and a couple sentences on why you’d be a good fit for that position. Email to the SSU Nursing Club email address by Wednesday April 27th. Then, look for an email ballot that will be sent out so you can vote by May 1st.

Also, our next meeting is the last one of the year and we’ll be having a big pizza party. You don’t want to miss out! It’s Monday, May 9th at 1pm in the Multipurpose Room of the Student Union. Hope to see you there!

Also, speaking of photos, check out our newly updated nursing boards on campus. Mentor-Mentee powerhouse team Keri Hochstetler and Kathy Zaletel designed and updated the boards with recent photos and information, so swing by to see them. The Nursing Department board is in the 1st floor hallway in Darwin, and the Nursing Club board is in Nichols Hall. If you have any pictures you’d like put up, feel free to email them to SSUnursingclub @gmail.com. Thanks!

There are plenty more neat events coming up, including MESA Day to be held at SSU on April 30th. It’s a huge event drawing in over 500 educationally disadvantaged students from all over Northern California. Again, see the Events page for more details on how to volunteer.

On another note, elections for club officer positions will be held at our next meeting on Monday, April 25th (Darwin 38 at 12pm). Check out NCSSU Positions for descriptions of each of these leadership opportunities. If you’re interested, send an email to our new nursing club email address at SSUnursingclub @gmail.com. Please include your name, which position you’re running for, and a couple sentences on why you’d be a good fit for that position. It’s an excellent way to get involved and show off those leadership skills!

Thanks and I hope everyone’s semester is going well!
