The Nursing Student Organization (NSO) came in for week 2 of 2 to ask for a fund request to attend a conference. The conference is the Student Nurses Association of Pennsylvania (SNAP) Convention. While there, students will participate in an NCLEX Bowl, NCLEX Review Sessions, hear speakers and attend workshops. By attending, students will gain knowledge that can be shared with the entire nursing class and bring attention to Wilkes.  There are 16 students participating in the conference, 10 officers from NSO and six additional participants from the organization. Student Government casted their vote and approved the request.
