NSNA Bound 2025

Our Project:

The Univeristy of Pittsburgh School of Nursing strives to create the best nurses they can through rigorous coursework, numerous clinical hours, and many opportunities for students. The Pitt Nursing Student Association (NSA) has always facilitated unique experiences for students and has attended the National Student Nurses' Association (NSNA) Convention for the past ten years. The chance to attend a NSNA convention is the ultimate opportunity for professional development. Students at this event have the chance to network with recruiters for future employers on a one-on-one basis, attend numerous workshops showcasing all that nursing has to offer, and delve deeper into the nursing profession in general. It is the chance of a lifetime! Students who have traveled to this event have described it as one of the best experiences they have had in nursing school!

This year, the NSNA's 73rd Annual Convention will be held in Seattle, WA from April 9-13, 2025! At the last convention in April 2024, Pennsylvania had one of the largest representations for the house of delegates in the nation. We were able to vote on resolutions at a national level, including our state resolution. NSA's Vice President, Mary Ella McCarthy, currently serves on the National Resolution Committee. Additionally, one of NSA's members, Kayla Honeysett, served as Vice President on the national board last year! Pitt NSA is so proud of its members and their accomplishments. 

We were able to send ten students to the national conference last year and would love the opportunity to send more students this year. Student registration has risen to $125 this past year, which does not include travel expenses, lodging, or meals. Donors like you can help send students to this amazing experience!

This being our third year working with the EngagePitt campaign, we have set our goal to raise $3,000 to fund students to attend the NSNA Annual Convention. Any amount raised over our goal will support Pitt NSA's future convention endeavors. We appreciate any and all support you can provide! Even if you are unable to donate at this time, sharing our campaign page with your networks is an immediate way to show your support. Thank you for your time and Hail to Pitt!
