“RSNA provides leadership experience & professional development opportunities! It’s beneficial for students to be a part of school organizations to help them prepare for their future career!” – Brooke
Research Student Nurses’ Association (RSNA) is a constituent of the Missouri Student Nurses’ Association (MoNSA) and the National Student Nurses’ Association (NSNA). The role of RSNA at Research College of Nursing is to contribute to students’ nursing education outside of the classroom. The organization also takes the skills of our student population and aids in a variety of volunteer and engagement opportunities within the Kansas City and surrounding communities.
