NSNA: The Organization That Made a Life Investment In Me
The National Student Nurses Association has been one of the
biggest influences in cultivating the passion I share for nursing. This statement may be bold, but let me share with you why I wholeheartedly accept this as truth. Adam Tebben: NSNA Director (North) 2015-2016 My first semester in nursing school was a new chapter of my life as I had graduated with a degree, didnt find happiness in the job I had, quit the job, and chose to follow the path of my mother in the field of nursing. At that time, all I knew was that nursing had all the qualities I wanted to have in a profession. It allowed me to be around people all the time, help those in need, and provide a specialized skillset that I could use just about anywhere in the country that had an employment vacancy for a nurse. A couple months later I was fortunate enough to make the trip out to Portland, Oregon to the 2014 MidYear Conference as my state student nursing association president, where I soon met with other state leaders that had a drive within them that I shared. The passion that these individuals shared for collaboration, the betterment of their organization, and the profession of nursing, was second to none. The culture that was established in the first ten minutes of the Council of State Presidents created a fire inside of me that started as a mere flame, then grew as it was kindled by a new found desire to impact our profession for the rest of my life. Little did I know that NSNA would give me more than I could ever give back to it. It showed me the work that was being done behind the scenes of my education. It exposed me to the real-time art of leadership collaboration; healthcare trends in the legislation of patient safety and advocacy; different fields of nursing; and the process of adopting resolutions. These were skills and educational opportunities that I could not learn in the classroom, but had
to experience them by attending and participating; One I would encourage
all students to participate in. The biggest reason for myself becoming increasingly involved each year of my nursing school careers lies solely on the fact that I want to give back to an organization that has given me everything. NSNA has contributed to me becoming a better nurse, a better leader, and most importantly, a better person. The networking opportunities I have made with other leaders around the country has provided me with friends, colleagues, and other professionals that I will be able to collaborate with for the entirety of my career. I would never have the passion, dedication, and love for nursing if it werent for NSNA and its members being the influence they were to me. Because of NSNA, I know I will be increasingly involved in nursing leadership for the rest of my life.
