The Iowa Association of Nursing

Students Board of Directors
Would like to say...

Congr at s,
Gradu at es !
Job well done! We are proud of you!

Class of 2023!

Now a message from the President...

 Congratulations!
As we look back over our time in nursing school and reflect on all the priceless
memories (including the crying ones) we can only say man where has the time
gone? For some nursing school has been a 4-year process, a second career, and or
have completed a ASN or LPN. No matter the way you decided to get into nursing,
congrats! You made it!

I may not get to see you at our convention in the fall, but I am sending you my best
wishes on your next steps! I too fully understand what you are experiencing right
now. I have accepted a job a the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, and am relocating
from the Des Moines area where my family is located. We got this! Change for some
is scary and for others, it comes at ease, no matter how change affects you just
know you got this and you have unwavering support from over 1,400 Iowa NSNA
nursing students behind you!

I will leave with a quote that some of you may know..."It's ok not to know what to do
with the rest of your life. It's a journey to find your direction or your passions, so
don't get frustrated by the mistakes and setbacks as they happen to all of us" -
Selena Gomez.
