These functions are achieved by working closely with the local unit of ANA in an effort to keep WSNA members informed on current concerns in nursing. Secondly, the organization presents monthly programs of interest to the student nurse, such as speakers on present trends in nursing, individuals actively engaged in an unusual area of nursing, and panels on controversial issues confronting the nurse. To implement ideas and changes relative to nursing on all levels, the association provides organization similar to that of ANA. 219
