Northland College Student Nurses Association (NCSNA) at the East Grand Forks campus has elected officers for the 2009-2010 school year. The officers are from the AD Nursing Program and include: Jamie Foerster of Fordville, president; Cassie Cota of Red Lake Falls, vice president; Melissa Kiecker of Cando, secretary; Lisa Alter of Northwood, treasurer; Kristin Lowrance of Grand Forks, advertising; and Paula Gilberts of Monticello, advertising.

The NCSNA club is a catalyst for the nursing students to aid in promoting student health and infection prevention. Increasing awareness of preventive measures to hinder the spread of the seasonal flu and the H1N1 influenza, is taking priority for the year. Leading the students to stay healthy is the goal of the NCSNA club.

“The AD Nursing program is extremely proud of the leadership abilities these students portray,” stated Sue Field, Director of AD Nursing. “The club members will be responsible for planning the pinning ceremony for their class in the spring of 2010, and they will also attend a conference in the spring that will help them advance their leadership skills.”
