'S.N.O.' you want to be a N urse? The Student Nurses, Organization was first organized in the middle of the fall semester and has been meeting twice a month since then. The University chapter was started when the former Eastern Regional Director of the Kentucky Association ofNursing Students came to campus. A meeting was held for inter- ested students, and oEicers were elected. In February organization members at- tended the K.A.N.S. convention in Owens- boro. Kellene Mosbacker,'a sophomore nurs- ing major from Batavia, OH, was elected to be the new Eastern Regional Director of K.A.N.S. Mosbacker also acts as secretaryl treasurer of the Student Nurses, Organiza- tion. The convention also played an important part for other members. iiAt the convention there were about 50 booths representing all of Kentuckyis hospitals, and they were all of- fering jobs, said Russel Williams, a Meally nursing major and vice-president of the Stu- dent Nursesi Organization. iiOut of the eight of us who attended the convention, seven plan to go on for our mas- teris degreesf, Mosbacker said.

The Student Nursesi Organization has about 10 members, some of which are not yet official. iiSince we are a new organization, at meet- ings we discuss fund-raising and community projects. Most 0fthese projects are still in the planning stagesf said Mosbacker. The clubs involvement includes the March of Dimes Walk-a-thon in April and as many health-related community activities as time will allow. iiWe are working on selling sweatshirts, and maybe a sort oflottery or raffle.
