May 12 is National Nurses Day, and Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College is celebrating its nursing students and all the working professionals in the field.
The theme for this year is âNurses: A Voice to Lead.â This year the goal is to find voices and ideas for innovations and improvements to elevate the nursing practice and define what it means to provide compassionate, connected care.
Southernâs Student Nurses Association (SNA) promotes awareness and involvement in nursing education. The SNA supports the education of the student nurse as a professional and acts as a liaison between nursing faculty and nursing students. The SNA participates in educational and community service. Mentors for Southernâs SNA are Dr. Debra Mullins, Ed.D., MSN, APRN, FNP-BC and GNP-BC, first-year instructor, and Dr. Anitra Ellis, DNP, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC, second-year instructor.
