Breakthrough To Nursing
Established in 1965, the mission of the Breakthrough to Nursing (BTN) project is to organize, represent, and mentor students preparing for initial licensure as registered nurses, as well as those nurses enrolled in baccalaureate completion programs, in becoming practitioners sensitive to the cultural diversity that exists in our society. The project promotes the development of the skills needed to be responsible, accountable members of the nursing profession who respect the differences and similarities between people, advocates high quality care, utilizing the principles of transcultural nursing, and facilitates the development of peer support systems, which enhance recruitment and retention within the nursing profession.

Community Service – Traversing Beyond the Cities, Nursing Our Rural Communities

Legislative Nurses United: The Power of Legislation!
As government involvement in regulation of health professionals and health care delivery grows, it is imperative that nurses and nursing students become more politically aware and active. A professional today must be aware of legislative and regulatory activities in nursing and be ready to support or oppose them, in an informed manner. It is the purpose of this committee to educate the student to better understand the legislative and political process and how it affects nursing and health care.
