Association of Nursing Students
The Association of Nursing Students (ANS) is an organization through
which nursing students practice self-governance; advocate for student
rights and the rights of patients; and take collective, responsible
action on vital social and political issues. Participating in ANS
prepares students for eventual participation in professional nursing
organizations such as the American Nurses Association and the
National League for Nursing, as well as organizations dedicated to
specialty nursing practice. Through active participation in this
organization, students have access to prominent nursing leaders and
peers from around their home state and throughout the country.
Students also have the opportunity to contribute to the community's
health through fundraisers and special projects.
