About Us
Emporia Kansas Association of Nursing Students is a club that is focused on connecting nursing students across the nation. Students have the opportunity to serve in their community, attend NCLEX review sessions, sit in at national conference each year, and have the chance to be published in the Inprint journal article through NSNA.
Current board members: Ny'kel Thomas, Carleigh Pritchard, Karla Morales, Joscelyn Calderon, Jessica Brown, Sydney Dogulas, and Macie Behrens.
Membership Benefits
Members are benefited by helping make decisions that can impact the school of nursing at ESU. For example, input on t-shirt and sweatshirt designs each year to better represent ESU School of Nursing. Members also have the opportunity to attend regional and national conferences: speaking with other nursing students across Kansas, listening to guest speakers, provided information on job opportunities after graduation, and attend live NCLEX review.
Projects & Initiatives
EKANS is hosting a Holiday Lunch at Cora Miller on December 3rd 1130-1330 to celebrate finishing the semester.
Recently, we set up a booth at Flinthills Mall to pass out candy to children on Halloween and provided an "operation" style activity to keep the children entertained. Next, we have adopted a family for Christmas and will donate toys, clothes, and any other items the family may need for this holiday season.
