Special Rewards for Hard Work

Yesterday the Executive Board Members of the Student Nurses Association (SNA) met to discuss our plans for the next two months. All present members gave reports on past events, fundraising monies, and ideas for one last project for this year. As Vice President, I had two new ideas I wanted to present to the board. For the past few months I have been working on securing graduation cords from the National Student Nurses Association (NSNA) for graduating members of SNA who are also NSNA members. I feel that our graduating members deserve a special gift or token of appreciation for all their hard work this year. SNA was just getting started, and it took all of us to get it off the ground. All those who had an active part in it should be rewarded. These cords would be presented to us along with our nursing pin during our Academic Recognition Ceremony. I presented this idea to the SNA Executive Board and received positive votes from everyone. I will be consulting with the Treasurer to determine how much SNA can donate towards the cost of the NSNA cords for this year’s graduating NSNA members. Our board will suggest that next year’s board work on securing customized cords in SNA colors for next year’s graduating members.
