TTC Student Nurses' Association

A big thank you to all who donated to our "I am Voices" project! We were able to make roughly 86 bags!!! WOW!!🥳

These bags will go to girls and women in our community that have aged out of the Foster Care System, affected by homelessness, human trafficking, or sexual violence.

Thank you to these lovely women and gentleman who helped create the bags, and a HUGE thank you to Naomi Mendenhall for finding this opportunity for us to participate in!

ATTENTION!!

The SNA is looking for upper-class mentors!!

Do you want to help first-year students? Do you have tips or tricks that you wished you knew earlier on? Then mentoring might be for you!

Mentoring is an amazing way to help your peers be successful, ranging from giving studying advice to motivating them through the program.

If you are in NUR 158/195 and above and interested, please e-mail your BTN board member, Katie Infante!

For every hour that you help your mentee, you earn 0.25 points toward extra credit in the course you are in.

NOTE: To be a mentor, you must be an SNA member.

SNA-SC Convention 2022 was a success!!!

Congratulations to Rachael Beacham for presenting a resolution and winning most letters to Legislators, Naomi Mendenhall's outstanding Population & Global Health Participant, Jake Miller who is now your SNA-SC Ethics and Governance, and Cassandra Boer for winning the Nursing.com book!

A huge Thank you to our AMAZING advisors!

Hello everyone,

The SNA is looking for "first aid" volunteers for the 7th Doughnut Dash 5k!! If you would like to help out on Saturday, April 23rd please reach out to Michelle Mobley via e-mail: [email protected]

What is this event for?

· This event was created as a tribute to TyWanza Sanders in order to fund $4,000 worth of scholarships for graduating seniors in our Charleston area! Specifically James Island Charter High School, Burke, and West Ashley High School. Their goal is to raise enough money in order to have this scholarship at every Charleston High School.

Who was Tywanza?

· As stated by the Co-Founder, Dominque Gray, he was," a man with a philanthropic spirit and a commitment to the achievement of youth in his community and beyond, was the youngest victim of the 2015 Mother Emanuel Church Massacre."

The 7th Annual Doughnut Dash will be taking place April 23rd with registration starting at 7:30am with a 9am race start. They ask that all volunteers arrive no later than 7am at the starting location.

Volunteering with the SNA gets you an opportunity to help your community and with this event you will be able to eat some freshly glazed Krispy Kreme Doughnuts! Sounds like a win-win to me!

Where should I park?

The race begins in the rear parking lot of the South Windermere Shopping Center
(59 Windermere Blvd, Charleston, SC 29407)


Want more information about parking, where the race starts and ends, etc? Press the link below!
