  • Conference Edition CNSA Convention 2010 Ontario, CA “The Many Hats in Nursing: a Wonderland of Opportunity”
    Student Nurses’ Organization Riverside City College Student Nurses’ Organization Newsletter “A Stellar NSNA School Chapter” November-December 2010 Conference Edition CNSA Convention 2010 Ontario, CA “The Many Hats in Nursing: A Wonderland of Opportunity” Approximately twenty VN students attended convention this year. Every VN who went got something out of going and would recommend attending to other students. Important points students wanted to share included; many changes are coming with the new healthcare legislation and nurses are going to be utilized extensively. Continue your education as far as you can! The DON (Doctorate of Nursing) is giving nurses more voice, however there are many nursing specialties to consider getting your Masters in (informatics, anesthesiology, geriatrics, education etc). There was some talk about the meek employment opportunity right now as new grads; any extracurricular work will look great in your portfolio/resume (SNO, volunteering, etc). There is an opportunity for VN students to volunteer with local missions (check into the various missions online in your area). Keep track of everything you do in school and clinical (copies of clinical evaluations from instructors, skills achieved, SLOs, names of nurses you worked with, etc). Networking is one of the best ways to get you started along the road to your career goals. The Dean of UCLA nursing was the opening speaker and it was great to hear of the strong presence of male nurses nationally. One thing he stated that stuck with us was, “Always being on top of your game.” Besides all that, the convention had many representatives in the vendor area, which provided information about different programs to help us pass the boards.
