“Student Nurse Political Action Day registration opening is exciting! I’m looking forward to meeting and connecting with nursing students like myself from across the state. This is an important day for Illinois student nurses, and I encourage them to make an effort to attend. I’m most excited for the march to the capitol building where I will get the chance to be arm and arm with my fellow nursing students! “

Your voice is important. Your voice is the difference! I’d like to encourage every nursing school in Illinois to join us at SNPAD 2024!”
