Our Mission

The Student Nurses Organization (SNO) was established in 1977 by a group of nursing students who wanted to aid the nursing student's development as a healthcare professional and to become more active within the community. SNO is a constituent of the Delaware Student Nurses' Association and the National Student Nurses' Association, Inc.

Our mission is to assume responsibility for contributing to nursing education in order to provide for the highest quality health care; to provide programs respresentative of fundamental and current professional interest and concerns; and to aid in the development of the whole person, and her/his responsibility for the health care of people in all walks of life.

Our function is to have direct input into standards of nursing education and influence the education process; to promote and encourage participation in community affairs and activities towards improved health care and the resolution of related social issues; to represent the nursing student to the consumer, to institutions, and other organizations; to promote and encourage students' participation in interdisciplinary activities; and to promote and encourage recruitment efforts, participation in student activities and educational opportunities regardless of the person's race, color, creed, sex, life style, national origin, age, or economic status.
