Convention
Every year there is a State Convention in the fall where nursing schools from SC converge. This is a great opportunity for students, as the convention offers:
•NCLEX review
•Expo with recruiters (job/internship opportunities)
•Free stuff – pens, highlighters, first aid kits, free NCLEX review materials
•Networking opportunities
•Guest lecturers in various nursing fields

There are also many activities and competitions that go on at convention, along with a different theme each year. Some of the competitions include pop tops, penny wars, skits, scrapbook, etc. There is also a silent auction, door prizes, t-shirts, and theme nights. The last night of convention there is a formal dinner. Convention is also where you would campaign for positions on the state SNA board.
