ABERDEEN, S.D. --More than 200 nursing students will gather in Aberdeen this weekend for the Nursing Student Association of South Dakota annual convention. Hosted by the Nursing Student Association of Presentation College, the convention will bring students from across the state together for speakers, workshops and awards.
"We are excited to host this year’s convention," said Dr. Margie Washnok, convention chairperson and associate professor of nursing at Presentation College. "This is a great opportunity for students to learn about different areas of the nursing profession, make contacts for internships and hear about industry trends from talented professionals."
This year’s convention theme is "Oh, the Places You Can Go," and will be held at the Ramada Inn Feb. 28-March 1. Students do not have to be members of the NSASD to attend the convention, but must be members to participate in officer elections.
