The purposes of the Saint Anselm College Student Nurses' Association are to: promote responsibility, cooperation, and fellowship among students; foster growth of the individual, professionally and socially through the cooperative efforts and activities of the group; help members become aware of the needs of the community and respond appropriately as aspiring professionals; and to cooperate with other groups on campus in promoting worthwhile programs and projects. One of the attributes of a profession is the existence of a formal association of its members. Membership in the Student Nurses' Association is a way to accomplish this and to begin to learn how to attain the goals of the profession through the work of an organization. Membership is open to all Nursing majors.
