Organizations
Epsilon Eta Chapter
The Epsilon Eta Chapter of Sigma was chartered in 1980 at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Membership is open to nursing students and registered nurses who meet established academic and professional criteria both at undergraduate and graduate levels and to community nursing leaders. The organization focuses on the advancement of professional nursing through scholarship, research, and practice.
Student Nurses Association
SNA is a student-led organization that hosts fun and engaging events for all students interested in nursing and enrolled in nursing. Some of the events include an annual BBQ, skills night, Halloween parade, and trivia night.
Joining SNA enables networking and meeting new people, including fellow nursing students, faculty, administrators, staff, and potential future employers. This allows students to develop both personally and professionally outside the classroom setting.

Student Nurse Achievement Program (SNAP)
The Student Nurse Achievement Program (SNAP) is a School of Nursing program designed to recruit racially, ethnically, and/or culturally diverse high school graduates and college students from disadvantaged backgrounds interested in pursuing a Bachelor of Science in nursing. Students are recruited from educationally underserved circumstances that limit opportunities for successful post-secondary education.
Students are our number one priority. Beginning in their freshman year, SNAP students receive faculty and peer support through mentorship programs, remediation and study groups. School of Nursing faculty advise and monitor student progress throughout the program, promoting academic and personal success.
Nursing Circle, the social/academic component of SNAP, allows students to plan and participate in social activities and community service opportunities throughout their time with the School of Nursing.
