Workshops

LEAD Workshop

The LEAD Workshop is designed for emerging leaders in Pennsylvania's local chapters to gain leadership and development skills. Ideally, participants will be freshmen and sophmores. Between the SNAP Professional Consultants and the many past board members that attend the event, you will be given a vast knowledge of learning how to lead at an individual and organization standpoint.

The LEAD Workshop will be held on March 24-25, 2012.

Those attending the LEAD Workshop can book rooms at the Comfort Inn - Riverfront which is approximately 3 miles from Pinnacle Health System. Another option is the Days Inn Harrisburg North which is approximately 5 miles from Pinnacle Health System. Please use the SNAP Contact form to contact us with any other questions. All other details will be emailed to all attendees with their confirmation!

 

Capitol Hill Step by Step

SNAP welcomes all SNAP members to this legislative program, Capitol Hill Step by Step is an inspiring learning experience about the political process, and nursing students have the opportunity to learn on location at our beautiful State Capitol Building in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

The learning objectives are that at the conclusion of the program the participant will be able to:

1. Describe how a bill becomes a law;
2. Describe the relationship of the political process to the nursing profession; and
3. List three actions that individual nursing students can take to help influence the outcome of legislation and rules and regulations.

Capitol Hill Step by Step is available at no charge for nursing students and/or faculty. All participants are on their own for lunch at any of the many restaurants near the Capitol. Tours of the historic Capitol Building will be part of the afternoon activities, with tours scheduled for 1:00 p.m., 1:30 p.m., 2:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. SNAP encourages all participants to learn who represents them in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and Senate and either contact them prior to the day for an appointment or stop by their office after the tour.
Contact your school's SNAP chapter president, faculty advisor, or dean/director to inquire about signing up to attend for these events. Participants do not need to be members of SNAP. If you have any questions, please contact Cindy Shingler, SNAP Executive Director, at (717)671-7110 or email snap@snap-online.org.
Walk through Capitol Hill Step by Step with your chapter and soon you will take our political process in stride!

The 2012 dates for Capitol Hill Step by Step are March 27, 2012 and October 2, 2012.

Testimonials

Kaitlin,

I am a nursing student from Cedar Crest College and I had attended the "Capitol Hill: Step by Step" program today, October 4th.  I just wanted to thank you for all of the hard work and effort you and your staff put into organizing this event.  This was my first SNAP event, and I had a wonderful experience.  I learned how important it is as nurses to be politically active, and to stand up for what we believe in.  Thank you again for inviting our school to participate in this program, and I hope to attend other SNAP events in the future.

Sincerely,
Kristina Hefele

Kaitlin,

I would like to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules today and giving us a great presentation in Harrisburg. I had a wonderful time and learned a lot about our government and law processes that I had never known before. I would also like to thank you for making me see that I can make a difference in healthcare and that I should strive to be heard along with my fellow nursing students and soon to be RN's. Please send my regards to David R. Ranch, he is lovely to listen to and is a great healthcare representative for our state.

Sincerely,
Jenna Beidleman
