Student Groups

 

Getting involved in student groups is one of the best ways to engage with campus life. At GW, there are a variety of student organizations that cater to different causes, identities, and interests. Below, you can find a list of student groups that are specific to nursing and our school.
 


 

GW Nursing Student Groups

 

Accelerated BSN Cohort Representatives

The Accelerated BSN Cohort Representatives is a student-led organization, comprised of two representatives from each cohort. Acting as advocates and leaders for their peers, they work alongside Accelerated BSN faculty and staff leadership. This team meets monthly in collaboration with the GW School of Nursing Office of Student Affairs to enhance the student experience within the Accelerated BSN program.



American Assembly of Men in Nursing

The American Assembly of Men in Nursing (AAMN) is an organization led by students that advocates for the practice, education, research, and leadership of men in nursing as well as the advancement of men's health. The GW chapter of AAMN is a member of the National American Assembly of Men in Nursing.



Antiracism Nursing Student Alliance

The Antiracism Nursing Student Alliance (ANSA) is an organization founded and run by nursing students. Creating a university that mirrors the diversity in the surrounding community is crucial. Equally essential is addressing and eliminating the racism that currently exists in the health care sector. The ANSA aims to ensure that GW Nursing is an inclusive and equitable institution that is actively anti-racist.
