What is LSNA?

LSNA (Luther Student Nurses Association) is a student-led group for those who are currently in or will be applying to Luther's Nursing program. Our mission is to first and foremost support Luther nursing students through fellowship and fun.

Background

This organization was previously known as the Pre-Registered Nursing Club (PRN). Its name was changed to Luther Student Nurses Association in the 2012-2013 school year in order to promote professionalism and align its focus with the National Student Nurse Association (NSNA).

The main purpose of LSNA is to "aid in the development of the individual student and to urge students of nursing, as future health professionals, to be aware of—and contribute to—improving the health care of all people" (Bylaws, 1972).
