Resolutions

Every year, the legislative coordinator and legislative committee work together to write resolutions that are presented at state and national conventions. Resolutions are a concrete way to express concerns and passion about healthcare issues that need the attention of the nursing profession. If a resolution is passed at either convention, it forms the basis of the policies and actions that will be taken by the Student Nurses Association of Pennsylvania at the state level, and the National Student Nurses Association at the national level.
