Nursing Organizations
Student and Nurse Organizations:
The National Student Nurses' Association was established in 1952 to encourage and prepare nursing students to be active nurse leaders.
Worcester State University maintains a local chapter of the Student Nurses' Association which is primarily a student led organization that is actively involved in community outreach. Meetings are held in the department and are open to all nursing students interested in attending and participating.
Sigma Theta Tau International, the National Honor Society for Nursing provides leadership and scholarship in practice, education and research to enhance the health of all people. Since 1986, students have been selected for membership into the local chapter of the Iota Phi Chapter-at-Large based on academic and personal criteria.
