Community Service Update
2010 Community Health Theme
This year the National Student Nurses Association’s theme for Community Health is Get Fit, Stay Fit: Wellness, Fitness and Prevention. The wonderful thing about this theme is how wide-reaching it is; it will allow you to explore almost any project you can dream up! In addition, I would encourage you all to think about how you can make your Community Health project “green”. As nursing students we learn how to care for patients and their families and we can (and should) extend this conscientous attitude to the environment we all live in!
Please feel free to contact Mary Steimer, GANS Community Health Director, at gans.community@gmail.com for any questions or support.
Look for more details to come on community health project ideas and award applications!
