The Student Nurse Resource Pool program provides opportunities for nursing students to develop their clinical expertise, gain exposure to the professional healthcare environment, and improve their communication, time management, and prioritization skills. Student Nurse Assistants (SNAs) are dependent members of the healthcare team who must be supervised by an RN or other licensed professional. SNAs obtain and record vital signs and perform daily care activities to help achieve the goals of the patient care plan as directed by the Registered Professional Nurse. Health-related activities and non-nursing tasks can also be assigned to SNAs.

Students in this position are required to work 32 total hours per month and must complete at least one 4-hour evening shift and one 4-hour night shift each month.
