# School of Nursing Student Experience
When you join the School of Nursing, you become part of a supportive community with a shared passion for the profession. We offer many opportunities to get involved, through an active network of student groups, volunteer opportunities and a unique living environment dedicated to nursing students.
!
## Why Quinnipiac?
Students share five reasons why they chose Quinnipiac’s School of Nursing.
## A connected and driven community
Our clinics enable you to work alongside one another as you put your skills to use for those most in need. You might join the Quinnipiac Student Nurses Association (QSNA) or the Graduate Student Nurses Association (GSNA). Students who qualify may join the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nurses. These groups participate in special outings, host guest lectures, organize fundraisers and volunteer in the community.
You also have the option to live in a unique Living-Learning Community (LLC) designed specifically for first-year nursing students. Here, you’ll have the chance to participate in specialized activities related to health care, as well as study sessions, group discussions and student-run social events. The LLC provides you the opportunity to meet with faculty informally to hear stories about their professional journey and discuss what you can expect as you begin yours.
Students and families participate in a variety of hands-on stations including bone models, lung models, AED training and more at the School of Nursing Academic Exploration Day.
Develop knowledge, instincts and team-based skills with hands-on training in our Nursing Living-Learning Community.
Students have access to the Human Anatomy Laboratory and skill labs that feature anatomical models and the same equipment used in real clinical settings.
Experience the essential role nurses play in integrated teams as you collaborate with students from across the university.
Students and families attend an interactive applied anatomy lecture hosted by Dr. Philip Martinez as part of the School of Nursing Academic Exploration Day.
Nursing students take part in CPR training in the Nursing Living-Learning Community.
Our facilities, faculty and learning opportunities will prepare you for the evolving world of healthcare.
## Learning through community engagement
##### Nursing students bring resource-packed health fair to elderly older clients
December 2, 2024
School of Nursing students highlighted a semester of meaningful clinical visits with older clients by bringing a resource-packed health fair to the New Haven senior living community late last month.
### Living-Learning Community
The Nursing Living-Learning Community provides first-year students with a daily support system, as well as the opportunity to form meaningful relationships with other nursing students and faculty.
Living in this unique community enables you to participate in regularly planned activities connected to health care, meet with faculty informally to hear stories about their professional journey and engage in volunteer activities with nursing students.
## Experiential Learning
##### Students selected for a competitive summer oncology nursing program
August 1, 2023
School of Nursing Flynn Fellows Isabella Ulrich ’24, and Claire Clifford ’24, spent this summer undertaking an in-depth exploration of the specialty of oncology nursing in a well-known healthcare organization.
## In Their Words
### Charles Sharkey ’21
#### Nursing
“Living in the Nursing Living-Learning Community was a game changer for me. Going into college not knowing what to expect is a scary thing, but being around people in the same major made my transition to college so much better. We are not just friends in the LLC; we are family.”
## Student Groups
As a nursing student, you'll have the opportunity to join university organizations that connect you with other students of similar faith, ethnicity, identity and academic interests.
Health-based initiatives such as the annual “Walk for the Cure” and “Relay For Life” enable students to make a positive impact outside the university community. Our student nurses associations and international honor society open up a network of resources for students, as well as additional opportunities to make a tangible difference in the lives of others.
### Student Nurses Association
The Quinnipiac Student Nurses’ Association (QSNA) is a university organization dedicated to providing camaraderie, support, mentoring and learning experiences for undergraduate nursing students. In collaboration with the School of Nursing faculty and staff alongside other university organizations and the surrounding local community, QSNA members uphold the value of teamwork with compassion for others. The QSNA is affiliated with the National Student Nurses’ Association (NSNA), which fosters the professional development of nursing students across the country. All undergraduate nursing students are welcomed as members of the QSNA upon arriving to Quinnipiac and are encouraged to get involved with the organization.
### Sigma Theta Tau International
In 2006, Quinnipiac established the Tau Rho chapter of the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing. One of over 500 chapters around the world, membership into Tau Rho is offered by invitation to undergraduate- and graduate-level nursing students who have demonstrated excellence in academics, as well as to notable leaders in the field of nursing.
