Florida State University Student Nurses Association The Student Nurses Association ( SNA ) at Florida State University ( FSU ) has been finding new ways to get their students involved in the community and nursing college . This semester , the SNA chapter started a “ Goodie Bag ” sale that allows nursing students to buy goodie bags with surprise gifts and snacks for other nursing students . This is a fun way to raise money for their College of Nursing , but also to show love and appreciation for their fellow nursing students . Aside from goodie bags , the FSU SNA has been providing students with many fundraising opportunities through local restaurants to raise money for scholarships , events , and travel opportunities .
The FSU SNA has also partnered with a local Hearts for the Homeless chapter that provides blood pressure readings to the homeless population in the community . This allows for nursing students to practice their practical and therapeutic communication nursing skills . It also connects nursing students with the community and provides awareness to the homeless population of blood pressure and how it affects their health . This is a great way for nursing students who are interested in community health to get hands on experience . n
