The mission of the Student Nursing Association of Texas A&M University –

Corpus Christi is to bring together pre-nursing and nursing students in order to

educate and empower students to be proactive in their nursing education and

to help students succeed in their professional endeavors. It is our goal to

provide social, educational, and volunteer opportunities that will enable students to

establish mutual and beneficial relationships with colleagues and nurse

professionals in the community and around the state.

Scheduled MeetingsSPRING 2012

Effective as of October 25, 2011, All Student Nurses’ Association members will be encouraged to attend all SNA

meetings with the allowance of two absences for extenuating circumstances. If a member is unable to attend at least two

meetings, he/she must discuss the conditions with the officers for reasons they cannot attend the meeting or meetings. Such allowable excuses include class schedule, prior commitments

to work, child care, and/or other justifiable situations. The member’s absence will result in an extra hour volunteer

commitment with each meeting missed. If a member cannot meet these requirements, the member will no longer be eligible to receive full credit as an SNA member for that semester, but will be eligible to regain membership the

following semester.
