The records of the  National Student Nurses Association (NSNA), span  its inception to the present. The National Student Nurses’ Association is the country’s pre-professional association for nursing students. Involvement in NSNA prepares students for involvement in professional associations upon graduation from nursing school, and provides members with opportunities to become association leaders at the local, state and national levels. Throughout its fifty year history, NSNA has engaged in a variety of programs and special projects. Included are meeting materials, information on officers and Board members, extensive files on state student associations, publications, convention and workshop materials, and records documenting other programmatic efforts of this national association for students.
