UNS is a group of students that endeavor to enrich the lives of nursing students both socially and academically. Throughout the year, we organize events such as CPR classes, Welcome Back Lunches, the Nursing-Engineering ski trip, and Nursing Week. We also fundraise in order to support our students’ involvement on a national basis in the Canadian Nursing Students’ Association conferences. Lastly, executive members sit on a number of committees to keep up-to-date with faculty developments.
