SNA President Crowned Queen
        Written by: Kaylie Newton
           Our President, Shannon Ball, was one of the many students nominated for the Fall Fest Court.  With the help of our
    students and faculty Shannon was able to successfully raise over $600.00 for the Ronald McDonald House of Akron.  If it
    were not for the help of the Ronald McDonald House, Shannon and her husband  would not have been able to spend each
    and every day with their premature son Braden as he spent 86 days in Akron Children’s Hospital.
           Shannon would like to thank each and every student and faculty member that donated money to not just the Ronald
    McDonald House but to all of the charities that each of the students were representing.  “Without such generous students
    and faculty, the students would not have been able to raise over $1700.00, a great big thank you to all,” states Shannon.   
    Congratulations Shannon!!

          We have a new logo! Thanks to Rodney Hadsell.  
    The new logo will be our official MCN-SNA logo.  Thank
    you to all of the others that submitted a logo. They were
    all wonderful.
        Rodney will receive a $50.00 gift certificate to a
    business of his choice.  The MedCentral College of
    Nursing donated $25.00 and Dr. Zielinski matched the
    prize with an additional $25.00 for the winner. The SNA
    would like to thank MCN and Dr. Zielinski for that donation.  

       


Two State Awards Received,  One Student Elected onto Board
    Written by: Shannon Ball
         The MCN-SNA was recognized for two awards during the Ohio Nursing Students Association annual conference.  Last
    years president, Kristen Greathouse, was nominated for and received the Golden Buckeye Award. Kristen showed
    outstanding leadership characteristics and represented all professional student nurses in her efforts to help promote the
    profession of nursing.  The MCN-SNA also received the Legislative/Political Involvement award for Chris Emmel’s
    participation in the Nurse’s Day at the State House, as well as the presentation of the resolution of heart health for the
    underserved and uninsured. Christine Beal, an MCN accelerated student has been elected into the Legislative Directors
    position on the ONSA board.  Christian has 12 years experience as a lawyer. She will be a great asset to the new board.
    Congratulations Christine!

On behalf of the SNA I would like to thank everyone that has supported us on our way to California.  Eleven students will be
participating in the 2007 NSNA Annual Convention hosted in Anaheim, California!  We are excited to have this great
opportunity to experience this life and possible career changing event.   

We are in hopes of repeating last year by bringing national recognition to the MedCentral College of Nursing by successfully
debating and passing a resolution in support of the "Kids First Act of 2005."   

Thanks again to everyone including the MedCentral College of Nursing for your support!
MCN-SNA Website wins National Award!

The excitement was high around the college campus this past month when
ten students and one Faculty Advisor attended the National Student
Nurses Association's Annual Convention.  
The week was full of several events ranging from House of Delegate
Meetings to a first night party.  Each student took full advantage of the
events planned and came away with a more broad view of what they could
do for the nursing profession.  A highlight of the week came when the
college received the "Most Outstanding School Website" award.  This
national award is given to the one school the judges feel has the best
school website!  
Thank you to all the sponsors who so graciously donated money. A special
thanks goes to all the members including our faculty advisor that attended
the Convention, without your hard work we simply would not have been
able to go!
