New Jersey Nursing Students, Inc. (NJNS) is a pre-professional organization representing the nursing students of New Jersey. Our goal as an organization is to help mold the future professionals of nursing by aiding in the transition from student nurse to professional nurse. Our annual convention is one of the largest state conventions where students have the opportunity to network with other nursing students, hospital recruiters, current nurses and the like. Presently, NJNS has close to 1,000 student members who are already taking advantage of the many programs, services, product discounts, and leadership opportunities that the organization has to offer.
We are working hard on membership to maintain our status as one of the largest constituents in the National Student Nurses' Association (NSNA). Only through active student involvement can we implement change. Please help spread the word about the benefits of joining NJNS.
