Professional Development
Many professional nursing organizations have opportunities for nursing students to get involved. Local and national conferences can be a great way to gain leadership experience and meet people within your specific interest area. Many professional organizations offer reduced membership fees, lower conference registration rates and academic scholarships for student nurses!
