What is the NSS?

The NSS consists of elected and hired student representatives who meet on a bi-weekly basis to discuss issues concerning nursing students and to maintain communication across all six cohorts of students. We strive to provide Queen’s nursing students with unique opportunities that foster their professional development, strengthen their health and well-being, and encourage their growth as undergraduate students.

 

The NSS gives back to the Kingston community by organizing numerous charitable events that benefit local organizations and health agencies. We also support professional development by hosting career workshops and conferences in collaboration with the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario and the Canadian Nursing Students’ Association. The NSS sits on the Alma Mater Society, the Nursing Orientation Committee, the School of Nursing Academic Council and the Faculty of Health Sciences Faculty Board Executive.

​

There are many opportunities to get involved with the NSS. Through first-year internships, Class Councils, General Assembly, Orientation Committee, and the numerous initiatives the NSS holds throughout the year, the opportunities are endless!
