Student Organizations & Involvement

Aspiring Nurses Association is a club in which we seek to better ourselves and the community of Madison through education, volunteerism, and social involvement. We aspire to gain a deeper understanding and compassion for the health care system and patient populations we will be working with as future nurses. For each academic year, our mission is to continue our work in the community and grow as students, team members, and future nurses. There are many opportunities for student leadership in this club, and we encourage all members to take initiative in seeking out those positions.
